No, we decided not to do that to avoid future visa rejections as we definitely plan to visit USA in future.
Work permit restriction in health care field occupation.
- Thread starter Ravi saab
- Start date
The US doesn't consider it a rejection and have stated that an admin refusal doesn't affect future apps or need to be declared.
Wasn't sure about this hence we proceeded to change of condition, its been more than 2 months now, hopeful to receive updates in a month or so.
You need a job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA.
Hi,
I am also in the same situation. I also have an open work permit with the same restriction. I wonder if I would be able to accept an offer as a medical office assistant (Moa) or should I get the restriction removed first. Thank you.

Hi,
has anyone here applied online to remove the condition "not authorize to work in healthcare services..." of the working permit? Could you tell me please how to start and what are those IMM to be filled in. I did my upfront medical already but doesn't know how to link it because i don't know how to start the application online.
As of this moment, flagpoling is not advisable i think due to covid.
Thank you and appreciate those who can reply and give clear advise.

Hi.... guys .................... where are the conditions written on the work permit?
I am going to work as a nurse here in Ontario ....I didn't apply for the medical while applying for pgwp application and recently my application was approved.
But i cannot see anything written specifically for health care restriction employment?

check your work permit, the condition section is near the bottom of the permit.
"Conditions:
- NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN CHILDCARE, PRIMARY/SECONDARY SCHOOL, HEALTH SERVICES FIELD OCCUPATIONS
- MUST LEAVE CANADA BY
-UNLESS AUTHORIZED, PROHIBITED FROM ATTENDING ANY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION...
- NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT IN BUSINESS RELATED TO SEX TRADE..."
if there is no restriction in health services field occupations in your work permit, you are good to proceed with your job.
Oh Thanks for your reply.
There is nothing mentioned under the conditions related to health care. Means i can work as a nurse even though i didn't go thru medical exam.
That's a relief>
Hi, I have an open work permit but I also have the condition: “Not Authorized to Work in Health Services Field Occupations”. I got a job as a dental receptionist. Am I restricted to work in that kind of job? Thanks for the reply.
I think no because as a receptionist, you dont have close/physical contacts to your patients.
To be safe, you can call IRCC to ask.

Jobs for which you need a medical exam
You may need a medical exam because of the type of job you want to do in Canada.
Examples of such jobs are:
- Jobs that bring you into close contact with people, such as
- workers in health-care settings
- clinical laboratory workers
- patient attendants in nursing and geriatric homes
- medical students admitted to Canada to attend university
- medical electives and physicians on short-term locums
- workers in primary or secondary school settings, or workers in child-care settings
- domestics
- workers who give in-home care to children, the elderly and the disabled
- day nursery employees and
- other similar jobs
- Agricultural workers who’ve visited or lived in one of these countries for more than 6 months during the past year.
I was wondering, does this restriction mean I cannot work as a Medical office administrator? which is mostly scheduling appointments and informing the patients regarding their appointments and other administrative duties such as inventory, budget control , etc. ?
