Mental Illness and Depression

[Ladyza]

Hey guys,

I have the following situation.

My better half was diagnosed with depression about 3 years ago and has been using medication since then. This was disclosed to the MD while doing the medical and after some time after submission we uncovered that we need to do an additional test "106 Psychiatrist's report Required".

So we went to the psychiatrist and the following was discussed:
1) Prone to depression
2) Not a risk to society
3) Able to work without interference.
4) No other issues where raised.

Would this be grounds for rejection of PR?

I am in similar situation. My wife is primary applicant. I am under medication for depression which i have disclosed during medical examination. My depression is under control. Can I be denied PR on this basis? I thought it wouldn't be wise to hide anything. Kindly reply. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

In 2019 when I went for medicals, I disclosed to the PP that I did have some issues with depression (mainly because I couldnt get a job after school) and she said it was no problem, and I passed my medicals (IRCC sent the notification). My PR was refused though (because of wrong NOC - CEC) and it caused depression and i was hospitalized (the Doctor gave me a form 42 to fill, which I did, and was going to keep me for 72 hours but they let me go the next morning as it wasnt severe). I am now I am about to re-apply again (got an ITA already). I have never been on medication, so I answered NO in the post ITA for the question about mental disorder. Is this going to be a problem?

TIA for your replies

You need to be upfront about your previous admission of depression and psychiatric hold.
