Good [requester] got PGWP after studies in non health / non child care related program. Did NOT get medical done for
PGWP either as it wasn't required. Only following 2 conditions mentioned on PGWP.
1. Unless authorized, prohibited from attending any educational institution, or taking any academic, professional or vocational
training courses
2. Not valid for employment in business related to the sex trade such as strip clubs, massage parlours or escort services
However, now the candidate is getting a chance to work in childcare / daycare. They completed short term training on PGWP
and can work as an educator (ECE). Do they still need to get medical done to start the job , even if there's no condition on WP

Thanks,
