Hello all,
Hope you all are doing well.
I have a question regarding SOWP.
I applied for my wife SOWP inside Canada while she was on visitor visa.
We applied on 3rd January and It got approved on 5th April. However, when we received her work permit, there is a condition in it as She can not work in Child care or health related field. As well as they mentioned in remarks that she must undergo immigration medical exam within 30 days. Forms sent separately.
My question is,We had submitted her Medical exam while we applied for work permit so why there is condition to not work in child care and health related field. As well as What should I do to remove those condition/
Please provide your feedback.
Thank you in advance.

You need to apply to change the conditions. They're there because Canada doesn't want people without health checks working with vulnerable populations.

You can submit the previous medical of it has been 1 year since it was taken. As mentionned, the condition is there to make sure people do not have any infectious diseases that could be passed on to vulnerable populations like children and sick people.
