thank you.. i dont wanna hide my illness thats why i want to disclose it to the immigration.. and to prove that i have to come back here cause my company is paying for my medicines..
Why as a visitor would you feel the need to disclose it given it is not after all a communicable disease. You should in any case always as a visitor have travel insurance and should declare to an insurance company but immigration will not be interested as a visitor.
Frankly speaking, us filipinos are having a hard time to apply for tourist visa.. i have few stanps on my passport but non visa countries only, i wanted to prove them that ill come back here. And my intentions are true..
Of course you need to disclose illnesses. It factors into approvals/denials. Approval will be impacted if Canada thinks that you may try to access healthcare in Canada because it is difficult to access care and medications in your home country .
Yes if you can prove that you have good healthcare at home tied to your job then that does strengthen your case.
On reflection agree with Canuck78 that with question below is one of those if in doubt declare it even if you have medication to manage your condition
