How do I remove medical conditions from my work permit?

The border services officer can adjust the conditions on your work or study permit before they give it to you. The officer can only do this if you provide proof that you’ve had an upfront medical exam. If you don’t have proof, your work or study permit will have conditions.

What to do if more information is requested

You must provide the information or do the tests that your panel physician requests.

Your medical results won’t be available until you do this.

If you have a work permit with conditions and are already in Canada

You must follow the steps below to lift the job conditions:

1. Get an upfront medical exam from a panel physician
   • “Upfront” means you get your medical exam done before an immigration officer asks for it.
2. Apply to change your work permit conditions, and include all the required documents.
   • On the IMM 5710 form, for 1 a), under “Details of intended work in Canada,” select “Other.”
   • Also on the IMM 5710 form, for 1 b), under “Other,” write that you need the conditions removed (not authorized to work in childcare, primary/secondary school teachings, health service field occupations).
