Getting working visa at the Border - show proof of medical exam???

Hello,

I applied for a working holiday VISA and got my Port-of-Entry-Letter. Hourray!!! Now I have a question. I am from Germany and I did a medical exam because I might want to work in a school. So I needed to do a medical check.
I know that I need my port-of-entry-letter, my passport, a proof of health insurance and proof of money when I cross the border and get my working visa. Now I have read that I need to show a "Proof of Canada-approved Medical Examination and Medical Clearance arranged through the Canadian Visa Post in your home country prior to your trip."
I don't really have a proof. I have a print out sheet that shows that I did the medical exam, but it doesn't say that I passed the medical exam. And I had nothing to do with the Canadian Visa Post. I arranged everything myseld and CIC told me in MYCIC-Account that I passed my medical exam.
Does anyone made experience with crossing the border and getting the working visa? Did you have to show some proof of medical exam?
Thank you very much for your help!

Greetings, Hannah

Just keep the proof/printout of medicals done reciept and MYCIC-Account which says you passed medicals with you. Usually they don't ask for that since the fact you got VISA is that you passed the medical tests.

I was just worried as I am from Germany and normally don't need a medical exam. I just did it because I want to work in a school.

Take the proofs that you have. The border officer should be able to confirm in the system that you have passed the medical and issue your work permit without that restriction.
