It's not gonna end well. Only if those who are striking are not gonna get their payments as they are not working, they will be forced to go back to work.

The problem with this kind of situation is that if you comply, you are doomed cause it will happen every year and demands will rise and increase. If you don't, then it's a matter of time until they either go back to work so that they pay the bills or the government is forced to comply due to public pressure for delays.
Totally right! I believe in fair pay but some times these strikes are arm twisting the employers and there is not end to how many times the workers would strike in future

“A search of this bank was conducted and no personal information concerning your Citizenship Application was located. “



This was the response I got from the CSIS in response to my ATIP request.
Does that imply that the security has not yet started?

Anyone from KWC/Guelph/London who applied online in January and has received test invite?
I'm in Woodstock (between London and KW) but apparently assigned to the Niagara office. Took my test in March.

In my tracker account, I can see a new status update. Cit Test changed to in progress on Apr 22. It says I will get instructions for the test window between Apr 27 and May 17. I have not received any email yet.

Is there any way I can write the exam without receiving the email because of the strike? What is the web link for the test?

This is the link for the test which would allow you to access only in your Test Window Dates. There are old threads where people were asked to retake the exam since they took the test without the email but off late there are many folks who have passed the test without waiting for the email and it was updated successfully in the tracker

Interesting. I didn't know about waiting for email before writing the test. On their website, it says I should receive the email 1-2 weeks before the test window. Only few more days for my test window to start. Hopefully I get email before that.

I have a question . background check is showing as "complete" , but prohibitions is still showing "in progress". i assumed both of those would check off at the same time. is that just a box that hasnt been checked yet administratively or are they still working on it, has anyone else seen this scenario?

Perfectly normal. The search function of the board will bring up multiple threads and posts saying the same.
