Hello friends,
I am a third-year university student studying in Canada, and is trying to prepare myself for my permanent residence application. I am generally healthy, except I have schizophrenia and a rare disease (potential genetic disease). The rare disease does not affect me to see a doctor regularly and is managed with simple medication, and I have not had any relapses with schizophrenia since last year. My schizophrenia is very mild and the doctors consider me as completely cured. However, there are history left in Canadian system so that is why I am so worried.
I am worried of both aspect of the medical exam: the excessive demand and the risk to public safety.
Although I am a recovered schizophrenic (no symptoms for more than a year) and most schizophrenics do not have intentions to harm others, there is a stigma underlying this illness and therefore people recognize patients like myself as a danger to society. I'm worried that this stigma will make me to be denied.
My rare disease is supportive. It does not have any medical treatments (like IV) to be required. I manage all of my symptoms with medication and exercise. I'm worried that this might seem like I am putting excessive demand.
I have loved Canada since I arrived here 10 years ago, and I would love to start my life here.
Any advice and help is appreciated. Thank you all so much!
