Should I inform my recruiter early about visa timeline ?

Hi everyone,

I have applied for Eng Officer (CE) in Jan 2026.

My current visa expires in end of Feb 2027. I’ve been given a blood test date in the first half of May, and I’m hoping to complete my medicals and PJFT within a couple of months after that.

From what I understand, once PJFT is done, my application goes back to my recruiter and then I’ll be booked for the OASC.

Should I inform my recruiter about my visa timeline and ask if I can be considered for the earliest available OASC slot? Would that actually help, or do they just follow a fixed queue/time regardless?

TIA!
