Question Re: Past Mental Health Issue and RCMP + Medical

[Bsar1995 0]

Hi everyone,

 

Recently discovered this forum and I’m hoping someone can ease my mind a little. I am a Canadian and my American wife and I are currently awaiting a response on our I130 petition.

 

Back in 2018, I was going through some personal challenges during a period of change. One night after making some comments about ending my life, my friends called emergency services out of concern for my health and the police took me to the hospital. I spent the night there for monitoring and was released the next day. Since then my mental health has improved and no issues since. My doctor and I document this regularly too to be safe.

 

Do these sorts of non-criminal police contacts show up on the RCMP record that is pulled? Do these sorts of older items get pulled apart at medicals? I have no other issues or any criminal charges/convictions or health issues.

 

I know this is a bit of a personal topic so thank you for any insight anybody can provide!

Hi @Bsar1995 no it won't show up on the RCMP report, the only things that show up on the RCMP is if you have been fingerprinted for something. Even if you get arrested for something as long as you were never fingerprinted nothing will ever show up.

It won't show up on the police check. You do however have to disclose it during your medical exam. You will want to get your doctor to write a letter about any treatment past and present. The words they will want to see is that you are no longer a threat to yourself or others.
