you don't need to apply that early, it's only take 15 to 18 days. I applied too early, mine expires on March 2014, I applied in November, the new one will expire in November 2014.

There is no need for medical check. Just a letter from your manager to prove you are currently working. scan one pic u submitted to CEC, and use PDF to adjust the size. Good luck!

When submitting BOWP online it says to attach schedule 1 form what is that ?

Also I have a new passport since I renewed it .. do I need to scan both old and new passport and send it ?

Schedule 1 form is only for people applying outside canada and I would upload scanned file of old passport in support document section. And you dont need any letter from your current employer at all to apply bowp, just fyi.
