Hello everyone, I’m in Canada and want to apply for an open work permit. I’m a language teacher and teach to different age groups. I have read in www.canada.ca that a medical exam is needed for workers in primary or secondary school settings, or workers in child-care settings. I don’t intend to work in primary or secondary schools, but language schools for children. Do I need to do a medical exam or not? I just want to double check before submittig a medical exam to IRCC. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Do all foreign teachers need a medical exam?

On what basis are you applying for an open work permit? And yes, you will need the medical.
Due to my nationality I’m eligible to apply for an open work permit according to IRCC.
Are you from Ukraine?
It's not very clear if teaching children in language school needsa medical exam...
