Hello all. I'm wondering if SIA accepts cadet pilots with allergic rhinitis. I am mildly allergic to dust mites, and i have a diagnosis of this (diagnosed when i was 16) in my medical records. Was issued topical nasal steroids, used it for a while, and stopped using ever since. It more or less doesn't affect me at all nowadays, but the thing is that my records say that i have it. I currently hold only a SPL, and at that time i did not have that diagnosis when i had my medical at RSAF aeromed center. i have no symptoms of it when i fly and i never had, but does anyone know if SIA disqualifies cadet pilot applicants on these grounds? thanks

EDIT: coupled with that, I have a history of childhood asthma. never had an attack, or any symptoms of it after 4 though. Went for a methacholine challenge test for my SPL medical, and it cleared me of any asthma. but will it still affect application to SIA?
