I know I cannot be the first diabetic to go over to Canada but I just cant find any answers regarding the steps I would need to take, I would be grateful for any info. Thanks

- Im not sure Im understanding your question. How can you enter Canada without a job if you are coming in on a work visa?The Work Visa and the Company go hand in hand in case of a Work Visa. You cant come in on a Work Visa and not work here is my belief.
- It is advised (and this is on the CIC site as well) that even PRs need to have private medical insurance for a minimum of 3 months from the time they land as it takes the Health Card that much time to process.
