Winnipeg, May 23 -- Several problems and roadblocks including access to medical exams are being faced by the Ukrainians who fled the war as they look for work in Canada.

Still, another problem faced by them is the time it's taking to update their work permits once that medical exam is done.

For many just getting their physicals is a challenge as it can cost up to $350 per adult, and slightly less per child, adding up to a big bill for larger families.

Only after the completion of the medical exam, the doctor or health professional can submit the results to IRCC.

The person can only then apply to change the conditions on their work permit.
