But you'll have to check it out closely using your own research and the help of the international student office at the college you are going to attend.

Failing that, there's always Canadian pharmacies and paying doctors here directly for a script.
Thanks very much for the advice. Really helpful...I tried googling but it was a bit of a mind field not knowing much about the VISA's etc.
