I have severe OCD. Am I ineligible for immigration to Canada or Australia?

Hi there.

I live in Bangladesh and I have severe OCD for the past decade. Its severe enough that I personally consider it a disability, although I am not sure whether it meets the legal definition of disability. I have problems in a social setting but nonetheless I have managed to complete an MBA and I hold down a stressful finance job for years now.

I was wondering, if I applied to immigrate to Canada or Australia whether through employment immigration (and eventual permanent residency and citizenship) or for say a student visa or even just for a tourist visit:

  • Do I need to reveal my condition in my visa application or at the border?
  • Will my condition adversely affect my application?
  • If I lie, will there be adverse consequences? (I am ofcourse not planning on lying, I am just curious as to what happens and what the law is).
  • Will I be held in detention and interviewed intensely?

Bonus Question: What happens if someone with OCD had a history of hospitalizations? Or say someone had schizophrenia but is now functioning more or less normally? What would the answers to the above questions be in this scenario?

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
