unless you want to work in any of those occupations.. in which case you should try to get the restriction removed (which I found some threads on this forum on)I don't think it's because of no medical test. I think it's because of no certificate.yea I got the same restriction, I think it's because the medical testing hasn't been done yet. most people get that restriction on their OWP so no big deal
It actually is a problem because I have been working in the healthcare field for a year and a half now. I did do some research and the only reason for the restrictions I could find was the lack of medical exam, like you said. But the thing is, I did an upfront medical. So I can’t do another upfront to change the restrictions, right?yea I got the same restriction, I think it's because the medical testing hasn't been done yet. most people get that restriction on their OWP so no big deal
You said: "Not authorized to work in childcare, primary/secondary school teaching, health service field occupations."
It doesn’t make sense because this is my second work permit. My first one did not have any restrictions and every time I search for a solution on how to change the restrictions, all that comes up is medical exam. This is the first time I am hearing about needing certificates for an open work permit
This is your second work permit, then I don't know what happen to you. I say of my experience. I was a teacher, but it's not possible for me to work in a public school in Canada until I get a teaching certificate.
The certificate has NOTHING to do with it. The certificate is for your employer, not the government. The people saying above that it's about the med exam are 100% correct. You should be able to flag to get the restriction lifted if you've done a med exam already. I would try to head to a land border to see if any of the border officers there can help you.
I got my OWP end of July - still no eligibility email received by my husband
