New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

Not necessarily, get a letter, show your recent pay stub on May 6th, and you should be fine.
Offer letter or your contract !
IRCC may request paystubs/letters down the road to see that you were employed at the time of application.
This, you can always attach a LOE saying you just started working and if you want to make sure, you can always send a few paystubs later ib via webform before they request it.
Also, one more advice. We still don't know what the final checklist is going to look like, but if you know you'd need a police certificate for EE I would apply for one for this too. Obtaining them can take months + they need to be translated, but if it turns out we need them to submit an application, IRCC usually accepts proof that you tried to apply for one but couldn't get one on time.
I'm just saying this because it would really suck if you had all of your documents ready to submit but then it turns out you need a police certificate upfront...that takes weeks to be issued, sent and translated.

My wife's test is on May 7th, so I hope it doesn't fill out before 12-13th! 
She has her new contract from April 20th and yet another one is supposed to arrive any day now, for her employment in the new academic year. We can also submit paystubs, but those are technically not the same contract. We'll see.

I think old translation is fine as long as the marriage is the same, and you probably might need your birth certificate (for sure you'd need birth certificates for dependants but not sure for the principal applicant)
Yes, it should be fine if you're still in the same marriage. For birth certificate, if you are including dependant children in the application, then you have to provide their birth certificates to prove the relationship.
I doubt it would. Everyone is waiting to give their IELTS/CELPIP exams so they won't be filled quickly. When it opens, I believe most of the applicants are going to be those who are applied for CEC or will be applying soon so they already have their IELTS results in hand.My wife's test is on May 7th, so I hope it doesn't fill out before 12-13th!

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the quota gets full quickly.
Yes, it is for children. If you check this page for Express entry, under "Mandatory documents", it states that birth certificates are required for all dependant children.

Most sources say before the end of May, chatty lawyer said within a week but then he said maybe June or July because of the IELTS bottleneck issue.
Not saying his name because I don't want to be reported for spam, but anyone who's been following the thread knows who I'm talking about :')Chatty lawyer
I also thin we need to make a difference between essential worker and graduate streams. There are more spots for graduates.
By the way, if any of you is an European citizen consider translating your National ID (if you have one), I just noticed I have everything perfectly ready and translated except that...which is asked for in EE and paper-based PNP programs.
