Hey Guys

So I became a PR in August 2018. I've been through some stressful situations lately, and I may be diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (based on the questionnaire that I filled up, which I have to take to my GP this August).

If that is the case, will this affect my citizenship application in any way?

I know there is a clause that says that if there is a cognitive impairment or condition that prevents you from taking the citizenship test, then that needs to be declared. This definitely wont be the case for me.

But other than that, do you guys see any issue for me in the future?

Hi
People with anxiety disorder are doing very sensitive jobs , and working in important rules.
Of course this is not an issue to prevent someone from citzenship.

Believe it or not, the citizenship process is much easier than PR in a lot of ways.

Be at peace! Health issues are certainly not part of the citizenship process.
