Is this possible misinterpretation?
I applied for Non-Express Entry PR a month ago. A few days before I submitted the application, I was assessed by a Psychologist and he told me that his diagnosis of my conditions would be PTSD and moderate depression (as a result of a Car Accident). I am still able to work full-time without issues and was able to graduate from University with excellent grades. I take psychotherapy sessions but no medication as of now or have never taken historically. Also, I don't have any other medical history, with exception of the above mentioned which happened after moving to Canada.
I answered "No" to the question asking about "serious disease or physical or mental disorder" as I thought it talks about disorders like schizophrenia or extreme depression with people who have attempted suicide or tried to harm someone.
I had talked to the doctor after the assessment, about the question on immigration form, and he told me that I have symptoms of PTSD but it does not affect my life as I was able to carry on with work, school, etc... So, he said that you can mark "no" but later on he also said that a more accurate answer will be "yes" and write an explanation that it does not affect my life in any way as I was able to complete school and work full-time, but he was not sure as he did not have any idea about IRCC. Later, I told an Immigration consultant at University, what the doctor had told me and they replied that it's upto me but said that to them, it does not seem like a serious problem due to the same reasons the doctor mentioned (carry on with usual life and it not affecting my studies or job). They also told me that if I answer "yes" then I will have to provide documentation about it and everything.
Please comment on this. Thank you
