Hi experts. I had submitted my express entry profile and got an ITA on 12th August. Everything was going smooth until today! I got my medical tests done today where the physician asked me whether I have any history of depression. I told her about my mild depression 3 years back during my masters days for which I sought medicines and which was largely cured in 6 months. On second thought I wonder that I shouldn't have brought up such a mild issue at all. Can this lead to more obstacles and delays further down the road?
Medical Exam Mild Depression History

No won't be an issue unless you were hospitalized or weren't able to work or study for long periods of time.
Have never been hospitalized and neither did it affect my studies or work. I hope that everything goes smooth
Is there anyone with a case similar to mine? Who declared a history of depression in their medical test?
Hi I did the same thing and now i am so stressed out.
In my upfront medical exam I disclosed the fact that I have anxiety and take medication for it, although I did mention it is mild anxiety and the doctor did not ask me to go through anymore tests but i am really worried thinking that it could it be a reason for failing my medical exam?
In the application form where it asks if you had any serious illness, mental or physical disorder? Should I say Yes or NO, since anxiety is not a serious mental disorder.
I am really panicking about my medical exam
Also what did you choose in your application form in the statutory question regarding serious illness?

I have selected the option 'NO' because it was not a serious condition. I have never been hospitalized because of it, and I could complete the course I was studying when I had the condition..
I wouldn’t worry. If you have a record of pursuing your studies or working full time it will be fine,Hi I did the same thing and now i am so stressed out.

Ok great thanks!! I will also select NO then,was worried if this would fall under misrepresentation. I wonder if anyone in the same situation have passed their medical exam though.
Although, what does the B grade imply? I had also given to the Panel Physician a note from my doctor

Not an issue unless you have more severe depression that impacts your ability to work or study.
