Ray of hope - FSW - 1

I did upfront medicals in July 2020. Can I still use same medicals for my application right now? It should be valid for 1 year (so until July 2021, correct?)
p.s. my first application in July was returned as incomplete (missing original PCC), just so you know why I did medicals at that time

Yes you can. But If I were you, I would get new medicals.

Can I ask you why?

This is March, July is 4 months away. It’s possible that your application will be finalised in 4 months, but what are the chances. Say it is not, four months will pass, then you have to do it again.. which will make your first MEP useless and causing more delays with your application processing. Also, unless you are inland or exempt, say your application is finalised in 3 months and travel restrictions are not lifted by then, you can’t travel, then you you have to wait till your medicals expires, you will then have an expired COPR and have to do the medicals again plus wait for the travel authorisation. However, if you do a fresh medicals, your giving yourself a year head start. Just playing out the scenarios for you.

I am in Canada and currently working & living here.
I am only worried if my medical exam is still valid - if it is, I am ok. Otherwise, we have to re-take it (2 members), and its another $600 approx which is not cheap at alllll especially if the one I have currently will work for express entry CEC.

Well... your medicals is still valid and you can use it. But if by July your application is not finalised, you would have to do it again.

Vaccine plans by the age for Ontario.

https://covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-19-vaccines-ontario

Clicking on 'learn more' for each phase gives more detailed timelines.

They are purposefully setting expectations low. Vaccination will happen faster than that timeline probably by about a month.

Yesterday Trudeau's procurement minister announced there will be 36 million doses delivered to Canada by end of June. Kids aren't included in current vaccination plans (about 20% of the population) so that's enough for about 60% of the adult population, assuming two doses per adult. And it's likely many more doses will actually be available by end of June than that.

FSW DRAWS HOW I LONG TO SET MY EYES ON YOU

Best case scenario: End of April
Realistic scenario: June-July
Worst case scenario: Never, if they decide CEC only is the way to go for the future.

Hi
i wanted to know if all the names should be in capital when filling up the express entry? It says exactly as shown in your passport. In my passport, its all in capital but when i filled out the express entry, I only made the first letters capital. For instance, I typed "Johnny Cash" instead of "JOHNNY CASH". Will this be an issue? thank you

Never seems harsh, even for a worst case scenario

Haha it is the WORST case scenario after all. If they decide to adopt a TFWP to CEC focused immigration program (like any other developed country favors), it's not inconceivable that they either severely limit or get rid of the FSW program altogether. I think it's unlikely, but still a possibility.

Doesn't matter. What you did is fine.

well, I guess since most of schools and universities have announced that they are gonna return to in-person classes from September, I guess by May or June IRCC will possibly conduct a FSW draw.
