Yes, I have Crohn's disease and take Humira, which is a very expensive medication. My plan would be to keep paying for my country's national healthcare and bring 90 day supplies every time I or a family member travels.
Does anyone know if family members who come visit you in Canada are able to bring you medicines?
Thanks
I am so sorry to hear about that, but this is a condition you can improve by taking care of dietary habits and making few changes, hope you must be trying that. Now this disease no way a threat to them (i.e communicable or something), the only issue and doubt we have here is health care strain they might consider. But if you have specified that you will be taking care of your medical expense on your own and specified in your application in this regard, then I think it should be fine. You can take certain medications for yourself to Canada definitely as long as you have prescriptions and they are not restricted drugs. But relatives bringing some specific medicine for you i have no idea.
I have many relatives in Canada who while going back to canada after visiting India, carry tonns of medicines with them, as they say that in Canada they don't easily get meds as doctors don't prescribe medicines for minor issues like cold etc. They have no prescriptions also as far as I remember, but always get through. I have no idea though whether this is right, in accordance with rules or not.
