Good day!
I sent my PR (I'm the applicant) In October 2020, Had to go to the hospital in December 2020 and do a full CT for a minor kidney stone that passed on its own. I never had a kidney stone before that, I brought a report from my family doctor evaluating the full body CT scan and my kidneys are in "immaculate" condition including all my other organs. June or July(?) I got my AOR. Linked application online, Received request for medical on October 29th, Did all of my medical work today November 2nd.
Iam not 100% aligned with my birth gender. I started taking Testosterone about a year ago to match what I feel inside, I didn't say outright I'm Transgender because I don't have a proper term to describe it. I'm just me. Doctor stated "To better match gender identity" on my medication note
I do take an anti Anxiety and Depression medication, I started about 2 months ago. Sertraline 100mg. I was never diagnosed with major depression outright and I did tell the doctor that I'm taking it due to pandemic and immigration stress since it feels like my whole life is put on hold and turned upside down. I did specify I never tried to commit suicide or was hospitalized before. I'm in no way a danger to myself or the public, my criminal record is clear 100% I haven't asked about the doctors notes on that but I will call the doctors office tomorrow and ask about a copy of his notes. I answered "No" on the test about any serious mental health issues because I do not have clinical depression or schizophrenia or anything else and I don't think me being not 100% my birth gender is a mental illness. Should I have answered differently? I haven't worked before in my life (I did a lot of traveling with myself and my family and dog and enjoy life, I visited many other countries to get a better outlook on life and cultures which I 100% not regret and met my spouse with that as well, we are doing inland) and was a bit jumpy with my school education, you could say I'm very adventurous
Will these medical conditions and history cause any concerns? Will I have to do a psych evaluation test? How much do they cost?
Edit: Do I need to upload anything on my end btw? I just received this email:
