You have many opportunities. There are many opportunities in India to start with.
If you wish to come to Canada to study, my recommendation would be that you complete additional education in India and achieve strong marks. That will put you in a better position to apply for a study permit to Canada.
Thankyou so much for sharing your experience. Can you please confirm from where did you apply? Can you please refer someone who can handle such case and has good expience. Thankyou so much.
Hii thank u so much for encouragement.. really appreciate that , actually one of my relative is living in brampton, he told me that if something will happen in canada then the medical expenses are very high approx $10000-15000 per day at that moment , i got scared that how i will pay if something will happen, moreover he said no medical insurance will cover your pre-exisiting condition... then i changed my mind .. My ielts will expire january 2020.. Can you suggest me any consultant who handle such cases..and I am taking tacrolimus.. prescription is-
Tacrolimus 2.5mg (2 times a day at 8 am and 8 pm)
Mycepts180 ( 2 times a day 10am and 10pm)
Wysolene- 7.5 once a day
Telma Am - once a day
And sometimes I take rantac ..
Sometimes my cretinine reach to 1.7 then by gods grace comes down to 1.4 or 1.5 or 1.3 ...but with gods grace never exceed 1.7... ,so please suggest me something good so that i will take some action...or apply for study visa...

Hi,
Being a transplant recipient, do I need to declare it in advance during medical or I can keep it undeclared and let the medical team finds it out...

The question should be why would you not want to be up front about your medical condition when applying ? Nothing less is misrepresentation. The CIC takes a dim view on those applying to come to the country, and they purposely with hold information intended for them to make an informed decision..
Yes if you arrive in Canada and have temporary medical insurance your kidney issues will likely be excluded from the policy.
Hi All, let me answer some of the questions raised in the above post.
@Anshal I did not hire any immigration consultant , read the law and several cases of medical inadmissibility and hence filed my immigration.
@Timmon I can give you a fair idea of the price of the meds u are taking, It is best to buy the generic and the cheapest option available in Canada otherwise the costs could be exorbitant, just to put you into perspective the Mycophenolate which is sold be Roche pharma under the trade name of Cellcept is 10 times more expensive then its generic form which is sold by Sandoz. As far as your drugs are concerned they will cost you around $60 CAD per month with insurance and $300 CAD without insurance. most of the employers insurances cover maximum 80% of the cost. the claim process is pretty straightforward, you just have to give your prescription to the pharmacy and show insurance card and they take only 20% from you and rest they claim.
@Asif052 Do not ever think of not declaring any facts. when i went for the medical the Dr was not bothered to ask anything because he was assuming that everything is fine however I was the one who gave him all the history. He asked me to take a letter from nephrologist. The leter given by nephro was sent to the CIC along with other medical tests and after few days CIC asked me to send them list of meds that I am taking(maybe they wanted to see the total cost) . After coming to Canada I asked my family doctor to again refer me to a Nephrologist. The nephrologist asked me to get around 40 tests done for the first time (FYI Dr visit and Lab testing is all free). The nephrologist told me he wants to get my baseline of all tests.
I feel that they look at each case very carefully and do not reject any case owing to medical reasons.

The Canadian health system is one which is paid for by Canadian citizens like me. I have paid for 50 years. Now is it somewhat more clear why we consider an immigrant as a person that can use the Health system; but ONLY after Canadians have been served. You want it different? Pay Canadian taxes for 50 years.
Because people outside of the country, hear time and time again that it is Free. You and I know it, and everyone else in this country knows that is not true. Some province has premiums, some have a tax on their income tax, but in the end, we all have to pay for it thru our taxes, and we expect not to be bumped from the system by someone who is not entitled or authorized to use the system.
Your issue is partly because you want to study and there is a lower threshold for medical admissibility for students. You also could be under an international medical plan that wouldn’t cover all of your expenses. 10-15k is usually a day in an ICU bed. Canada is reluctant to take in people with kidney disease because of the high cost of dialysis, transplant, etc.
