Hi all,
I'm an American citizen applying for a TRP for Canada due an arrest that has made me criminally inadmissable. I'm not sure that I'll get in, but I'm trying to do things the right way because my current girlfriend is living there now and I want to visit.
There is a question on the form:
Have you ever been treated for any serious physical or mental disorders or any communicable or chronic diseases?
What is considered a "serious" physical or mental disorder? I have been unable to find an answer online.
In my past, I have been treated for the following:
1) Treatment for Alcohol Addiction, voluntarily due to my arrest.
2) Situational depression due to the ending of a long romantic relationship.
3) Relationship Difficulties / Anger Management due to continued verbal conflicts in the afore-mentioned relationship, which in hindsight was a bad match all around, and I have not had these issues in further relationship romantic or otherwise.
4) Numbness/Pain issues related to martial arts training, that doctors could not find a reason for after 5 years. This continues but does not hamper my day-to-day life or job, and is controlled through excersize and massage. I no longer take medication for this, and haven't in 3 years.
Which, if any, of these things do I need to disclose?
Does Canada have access to my medical records if I do not disclose?
I am no threat to Canada' security, nor do I have intention of using their medical system. And I don't want to be seen as such, nor do I want to be dishonest and get rejected for being dishonest.
Thanks.
