Probably not but will come out in your medical. If you get a procedural fairness letter as a burden on health system then you get a lawyer to work on a response. Officers look at not only today but the future and whether you would require hospitalization, surgery etc.

I am consuming tablets now not biological injection (methotrexate 25 mg tab and folic acid) , Since I will be staying only for year can I import these medicines.
No you can only bring a 3 month supply of prescription medication. If you are coming as a student most schools have a drug plan.

You will not see a specialist for a long time. Through provincial health care, you need a family doctor. That family doctor will refer you to the specialist. Depending where you live and the number of specialists you can wait over a year (or more) for an appointment.

If it takes over a year for me to see specialist but within that time if I need my arthritis tablets which are prescription drugs , can family doctor use prescription provided from my Indian doctor to prescribe me drugs in Canada basically can I get arthritis drugs which are prescription drugs in Canada without seeing specialist

Your family doctor can prescribe medications for you. The challenge can be finding a family doctor too. Again depends where you live.

Thanks a lot for you patience , I would be moving to Scarborough, Ontario. can family doctor write prescription drugs that usually a specialist prescribes, I would be carrying prescription from rheumtologist from my country hope he can just refer that and prescribe it .

Yes a family doctor can provide prescriptions. You need to find a family doctor first.
