They don't seem to have a plan for this, even thought it would be reasonable. Me and my wife are now fully vaccinated, but still nothing...

The signs are there, as lucid as daylight yet some people still choose to engage in self deceit. Whatever makes you sleep at night , please subscribe to it.
I sleep at night regardless, but thank you for your precious contribution. And learn to express your opinion with more respect. please.
That's disappointing to say the least
Mind telling the original medical test date and the recent medical test date (month & year only)?
Also please tell the cost that was incurred the first time & the second time.
Exactly this. Same situation here in Kuwait. They (the gubberment) is prioritizing the Kuwaities, the elderly and the sick (in that order) first. Then they are moving down within age groups. Right now i think they somewhere close to the 60+ group. So, eventually, we'll all get the jab.
Not true. The Canadian government has already committed this year to be the biggest year ever for immigration. https://www.cicnews.com/2020/10/canada-to-release-2021-2023-immigration-levels-plan-1016133.html#gs.yfcc1v
They've already invited many inland CEC applicant's with very low scores (the CRS cutoff was 75 in February for CEC) and they have introduced several new application processes to make it easier for people already in Canada to become PR including the link below from only a few days ago.

They're simply focusing on inland applications only, there is nothing to suggest that they're not accepting immigrants for economic reasons. But if you've seen this somewhere please share.
Focusing on applicants who are already in Canada means giving out PRs to people who are already established residents and most likely have jobs while giving out PRs to outland applicants means putting more strain on the already fragile job market.
So I also think the reasons are more economic than anything else.
That's a fair point and I agree that is probably a reason too. But in the second article they are opening up easier pathway for students who do not currently have jobs in the Canadian economy yet. At the end of the day I think it's a mixture of both economic and pandemic reasons. We are all in the same situation and I hope Canada can get its act together as quickly as possible so we can all move.
Absolutely. For decades outsiders have filled jobs not just in Canada but it’s big neighbor too. It has to be temporary and Covid related
Should we take your word for it or the word from the one that put the restriction in the first. IRCC clearly stated reason is to protect its citizens from COVID-19 and its variant. Not ones did they mention economic reason(s). Prove me wrong.
I'm sure you guys remember the controversial decision Quebec made back in 2019 and canceled 18,000 immigration applications of people who were waiting even for years. How likely do you think it is for IRCC to do the same to this huge backlog of outland applicants since they are obviously changing their policies (for whatever reason) and moving towards giving PR status to students and people already working inside Canada?
Yes, they never spelled it out but economic issues are the direct result of the pandemic. As long as the covid is active and causes lockdowns, the government will have to pay unemployment or stimulus checks. And if the pure public health concerns are so dominant, why are they letting in thousands of students and residents' relatives?
