You don't need to do a thing to any primed surface unless you want to....it is OK to start painting if it passes the following test:
Hold the canvas up to a strong light and if you see little "pinholes" you will need to gesso the surface with as many layers as it takes to fill them in.
This doesn't happen often, but if you mistakenly begin a painting on a surface with pinholes, it can be a nightmare.
