This is the CIC link: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx
Last Saturday I got my exam here https://www.panelphysiciantoronto.ca/, you can book online also.

It seems that the soonest appointment is in 2 months. I have seen someone here told that he has don the medical exam somewhere else much faster...
another question: I have a child who was born in Canada with a Canadian citizenship. It is written that we have to do the exam for all family members. Does he need to do the exam?!

Technically no, because that child won't be going through the PR process.

Thank you for your suggestion for Ielts exam, as well. Just today we can book for 4 May. Although we have to pay a lot for cancellations... at least we could find a sooner spot

Hey, I just managed to book my CELPIP on May 12th, I am super happy, do you guys think I have a better chance now to actually get in the system of student stream?

 

[Anya833]

I personally dont think the 40,000 graduate stream will fill super fast, but the temporary worker one will definitely fill in a matter of days. I think the graduate stream will go slower because of the job requirement, English test, and no one earlier than Jan 2017. Also many students have returned to their country during COVID and to come back here and get a job on short notice will be impossible

Remember that everyone is still bottlenecked by the English test. Doesnt matter what your credentials are, no English test, no submission. Someone could have all their papers ready, but if they have a late test date theyd be screwed. I would imagine anyone who has an English test in June or July would likely be out of luck

Hey Mikey, thank you for encouraging me for the english test, I managed to book celpip for the 12th of May, I am hoping that is not too late.

Look at the wait in line !

 

[SatNight]

I feel language tests are a bottleneck. I hope the stream remains open at least for a few weeks!

 

[captainarabiia]

Alberta has May 13 dates, if someone's looking.

 

[Anya833]

Look at the wait in line !

Yea, I waited 10 mins after I booked my test on celpip web site, just to check other dates, and the earliest I found for Ontario was May 21st. I am happy I got mine on May 12th, hopefully I can still get in.

Woah, is that just to even get into the site to book?

I am hoping at least until end of May!

Yes, I was yesterday on celpip web site until 3 in the morning and couldnt find nothing, and today I just came from work and I got a spot.
