On the application 16.b) part of it is "have you ever been treated or diagnosed by a medical professional for:------- behavioral problems or emotional problems" when I was 7 or 8 I was medicated for a very short time for anger issues, I'm currently 23 I assume I still have to check yes even though this happened well I was young? And will this affect my application at all?

Also what are the current wait times in Alberta for the non restricted application processing?

I would check yes. Most likely once you explain it then they will move on and not give it a second thought given your age at the time. Better to be brutally honest upfront.

I checked yes and the mental issue is pretty recent (within a year), explained everything in the attached paper what happened and how I am confident it’s not problem anymore. At the end my PAL got approved without an interview.
So yeah be honest and nothing will go wrong.
