Hello All,

My partner has a Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP), but her Work Permit includes a "no healthcare" condition. She has recently secured a postdoctoral fellowship at a university in the field of medicine, but she is not in direct contact with or providing services to patients. Given this, is she still eligible for the postdoc position, or would her role be considered part of the healthcare field?

Wouldn’t be considered healthcare job. The condition is in place for those who work with vulnerable people. Condition is also easily removed if you have a valid medical.

Unfortunately, my partner's work permit has a "no healthcare" clause, even though she has a Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP). Although she is now a postdoctoral fellow in a medical institution, she does not work directly with patients or provide them any care. Does this mean she can't apply for the postdoc position anymore, or does her work fall under the sector of healthcare?
