Seem so too, because why else would they be willing to let people submit x-year old medicals, but wont let people with two weeks expired language tests apply for the streams? Are people more likely to lose their ability in language skills in two years than they are to get one of the inadmissible medical conditions? Somehow I doubt it.
New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe to qualify for CEC applicants must be under NOC 0,A,B right? If that s the case then most of jobs at McDonald are not eligible regardless of the return of FSW.
About CEC: Yes, many of us are or soon will be eligible. But we don't know if there would be changes. The main problem for my wife and me is the age. Highly skilled job, PhD, etc. but still around 440 points. This is fine now, but will it be when my wife completes 1 year of experience in September?
I don't blame anyone for applying here. We would have, too, had she received her language test results.

No offense to anyone, but I hope Gov will open more slots for Student stream soon, because I believe a large number of successful applicants are also eligible for other streams like CEC and FSW, which means there are less slots open for anyone with NOC C,D etc. My friend is struggling to apply for a NOC B job and she was not able to book an english test soon enough to apply for this student stream, and I bet there are a lot of similar cases out there.
I guess what Ircc intention is to lower the strain on medical clinic. IELTS center can handle the flood of people booking a test, but clinic should be reserved for patients.
And since IELTS is eligibility and IME is admissibility, so they can ask it if required per case.
Immigration is not a charity, it's meant to benefit the country not the immigrant. Under normal circumstances IRCC only wants the best of the best. This pandemic has exposed EE's flaws, and among other things, that you can't run a country only with highly skilled people, IRCC knows this and they ended up creating this news stream ultimately only because they have an immigration quota to meet.
Some CEC applicants have applied for this pathway even after having an AOR, but you can't ask people with NOC A or B jobs that still don't meet the requirements for CEC (either because of a couple weeks or because a few months) to "not apply" because as much as it annoys us, IRCC is not very transparent with their plans and it's impossible to know if next draw will invite FSW workers too.
Imagine you're eligible for this stream, and you'll become eligible for CEC in June. Let's say you decide not to apply for the pathway despite having all the documents ready. June comes and you realize FSW draws have resumed, scores have skyrocketed to +480 while your score is in the low 400's. Unless CEC-only draws resume again, you'll be stuck without PR.
Nope, but judging by the portal it looks like we might start seeing AORs next week, according to cicnews, this stream will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
We don’t know if that’ll be considering the 90k allocation or if they’ll process by stream.
Being within the first 1000 applicants of the International graduate stream might not be the same as being in the first 1000 of the 90k.

I have a work permit but there is a line that says.
this document does not confer temporary resident status.
Whay does it mean?
I'm in a similar boat as your wife, I have right now around 420 points, because of my age I lost a lot of points, but I have NOC B category job. And in Sept I'll finish my whole year and I can apply through CEC. Hopefully points will get lower in that time. Last draw was 400, and before that 417 I think. I'm hoping in sept, Oct, Nov points will be the same from 400 to 410.
