Hi, I am suffering from psychosis from last 7 years. I am now stable with medicine. I have completed my bachelor's degree with very good marks and live my daily life normal. Will I be medically inadmissible to canada?

Canada mainly screens out communicable diseases like TB, STDs, HIV etc. You should be fine IMO.
That’s not true. Canada does worry about expensive conditions to treat, difficult or resource intensive conditions to treat, mental health issues which could be a danger to yourself or others especially since a change or environment, stress and lack of family support can lead to mental health issues, communicable diseases, etc. Flr students what province you are studying in can also be a factor. International students are covered by provincial plans in some provinces and private insurance in some other provinces. Many schools are in smaller communities that can not deal with complex medical issues or in provinces where the demand on specialists is already extremely high.
