Yes, the strike is still on :(
It says that it is affecting the following countries embassies: Abu Dhabi, Ankara, Beijing, Cairo, Delhi, Hong Kong, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, Paris, Riyadh, Sao Paolo and Shanghai.
Welcome to the club of waiting, waiting, and more waiting!
If you check online, you can expect to see "application received" for the next few months, and then after that "In Processing".
Good luck with your application! All the best to you and your wife!
It shouldn't be a problem, if it was provincial nominee I could see it being a problem but you're a sponsor. You could even talk to the consulate if you are worried but I don't think you should be :)
Enjoy!!!!
That is amazing news! Congrats!!!
When you went to the visa office, was it busy? Did it seem like there was a strike happening or were a lot of people still working?
Congratulations on PR!!!!! That is awesome! I am in Calgary too!
Maybe you should wait until your spouse gets the PR card? I believe the timeline to get one is currenly 30 days.
The good thing is there have been a few PPR recently so even if they are striking maybe they have some people who are still working *crossing fingers*.
My status is still "Application Received" but hopefully it will turn to "In Progress" soon. Lets not lose hope and faith!!!!!

You're quite right! I know quite a few of my husband's friends got their visas in 2 months!! I also know a person who this year got his PR in 3 months.
