Hi,
I have a question considering question 6 k) on the Schedule A Background / Declaration form:
"Have you, or, if you are the principal applicant, any of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever had any serious disease or phisical or mental disorder?"
4 years ago I attended a group therapy for 7 weeks which took place in a clinic to overcome my so-called "anxious-avoidant personality disorder" (ICD-10 classification: F60.6). Is that considered as a "serious" mental disorder? I mean, I never was a danger for myself or anyone else. The therapy was completed 4 years ago and I didn't need any psychological help since then. In the meantime I spent about 20 months living and working in Canada and never needed to see a doctor.
I already did the medical exam and mentioned this therapy. As far as I know the doctor included this fact int my file. So, now I'm unsure if I should set the check mark in the "yes" or "no" box.
If I mark "yes" could this cause any problems? Is that even serious enough to mark "yes". Actually I think psychological therapies have become quite common for many people in the past few years.
Opinions and hints are very much appreciated.
