Would mental illness (depression or post traumatic disorder) affect my eligibility to apply for the citizenship? Answer: Cathy Murphy, executive director of the Irish Canadian Immigration Centre (I/CAN)IRCC (Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) does not require a medical exam in the citizenship application process. You will be scheduled to take a citizenship knowledge test after IRCC receives your application. If you cannot demonstrate you meet the knowledge requirement due to a medical condition, submit supporting evidence with your application. When there is a clear indication that a medical condition and/or cognitive impairment exists, officers should record their observations and seek a medical opinion from the applicant’s doctor.
