AirCanada Medical Approval

Here's just a small portion of what was on their site:

"View specific medical approval requirements for itineraries between Canada and the US.
For all other itineraries
You require medical approval before travel if:

• You have an unstable medical condition (physical or psychological).
• You have suffered from a recent major medical incident (e.g. heart attack, heart failure, stroke, respiratory failure)
• You have chronic obstructive lung disease and/or a chronic heart condition.
• You have undergone surgery or have suffered a fracture in the last 2 weeks.
• You have anaemia or leukemia.
• You have a history of seizures.
• You require oxygen or need to use your personal oxygen concentrator (POC). View list of approved POCs for travel on Air Canada flights. Please note that the use of an approved POC for travel requires only 48 hours advance notice, regardless of destination*.
• You require the use of a battery-operated medical device during the flight. View important information on CPAP, sleep apnea and other battery-powered medical equipment.
• You have an infectious or contagious disease that could pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others on your flight (e.g. tuberculosis or SARS)*.

• You suffer from epilepsy.
• You are travelling with an infant aged 7 days or less or a premature infant or an infant with a medical condition.
• You have a cast on an arm or leg. High altitude may cause increased swelling which may, in turn, affect circulation.
