The applicant type field on the upfront medical acknowledgment copy should match what you're actually applying for.
What group members advised:- If you're applying for a study permit, the acknowledgment should say 'Student'; if you're applying for a work permit, it should say 'Worker' — the field should reflect your application type, not be arbitrary.
- This mismatch isn't unique to one person — another member reported the exact same issue (applied as a student, but the copy says 'Worker'), suggesting it may be a clinic-side data-entry error rather than something the applicant did wrong.
Takeaway: if your acknowledgment copy shows the wrong applicant type, it's likely an error made by the medical clinic when submitting your results — it's worth contacting the clinic or checking with IRCC about correcting it rather than assuming it will resolve itself.
