Also I know that if you don't achieve the required CA for a program you just shadow the program until you can raise your average but what if you have the required CA but you didn't get a certain average for one of the classes? In my case its honours chem but i feel like i may come up a bit short of the required average for both chem 1A03 and 1AA3 even though i will finish well above the 6 average required to get in. Would i still have to just shadow the program in second year?

Yes, there's no need to apply directly to life sci as long as you have the prereqs.
For your second question, you should ask an academic advisor, but getting into the program you want isn't guaranteed. If you don't meet the minimum grade requirements for chem1A03+1AA3 it's unlikely they'll let you in to the program unless you take upper year chem courses and do really well in them. Honours chem obviously involves a great deal of chemistry courses, and they want to make sure someone entering the program has done well in first year chemistry, since it forms the basis of pretty much everything else.
