[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2676202, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=585080]@EC2024[/USER] and welcome to the forums. I can't help with Canada but I've moved countries twice (from UK to Australia and then New Zealand). Australia required a medical but as my diabetes was well controlled that was fine, they were more interested in TB and HIV. (Though this was 20 years ago). As for bringing medical supplies in, looks like technically you can take a 90 day supply, though I'm not sure how they'd tell whether you have more. [URL]https://moving2canada.com/living/healthcare/prescriptions-canada-newcomers/[/URL] Don't think I'd feel confident on my insulin lasting (as in not expiring) if I took a whole year's supply. Hopefully if you are well controlled your T1 won't be an issue.... Looks like your visa type may affect what type of health insurance you need though?
