For this particular image it would be quicker to just remake it.
Import the tiff into Corel and remake it with the elipse, rectangle and bezier tools.
For more detailed images it may be quicker to run them through CorelTrace.
Right click on the tiff in Draw and select Trace Bitmap, this will open the image within CorelTrace. Play around with the different trace options to see what gives the best result for that particular image. When you are happy with the result just close the program and it will be brought into Draw. You will then have to clean it up with the Shape tool.
Hope that helped.
