International Student

Might be a problem because during medical exam, test includes hiv and syphilis. If you test positive, you may not clear the medical exam. You don’t get visa approval f you don’t pass the medical (aside from the other requirements). Are you under any medications now? Canada will look at the medication cost if you will be a burden in the healthcare system.
Others may comment as well.
Thank you so much for this, Yes I am taking medications now. I am taking the first line medicine for hiv because i had a high cd4 and undetectable viral load.
AlexGord the excessive burden has been increased to thrice the value now. First line of ARVs (HIV drugs) shall fall within that limit. That would not be an issue. But there is another thing that comes in the picture.
I am also applying for student permit with the same case as yours.
Some one informed me that I will have to show funds to prove that I will be able to spend for the Treatment for the HIV while staying in Canada.
Now every international student in Canada is suppose take a health insurance. I talked to someone from my university and they told me that the health insurance provided by the university covers a cost of CAD7500 for prescription drugs for a 'pre existing condition' for the first year and CAD20000 for the next year.
Now even I am not clear how things will work out for me, or how it worked out for you.
if you can give me an insight of how you went about it, Please let me alot. This will help me for sure.
Thanks.

You should look into the international student medical insurance policy. It should be online. The medical inadmissibility criteria has been increased but not for students. It will depend on the province and plan whether you are accepted.

Yes he got, and also pgwp later.
But he applied for Bc that has provincial insurance for international students.
Have you checked the coverage insurance from them? https://cihip.ca/coverage
All people I saw here in this forum with visa approved they applied for provinces (QC, BC) with provincial coverage that would pay hiv meds.
I'm really concerned if I should try apply for Ontario.
I'm not willing to pay 900 for 30 days supply monthly.
International students in Ontario have to pay for UHIP insurance policy. The details of the policy are online. Would not recommend Toronto school of Management.
