No mine was just regular processing. That's why I don't know what she meant by that. Maybe she meant they're prioritizing those who were canceled? I'm wondering if they're trying to squeeze us in with others in existing ceremonies (as you mentioned in one of your earlier posts)? Usually they...

Following your lead, I called IRCC (my ceremony was on April 24th - Scarborough - and I did receive the email invitation). She said that they don't have a date yet for me, and they're in the process of rescheduling me for a date "very soon". When I told her, I have travel plans next month and...

I know a very good bit about how strikes work (and most of that, I just learned in the last few days, because it is currently affecting me, as it is many others on this forum). It's not rocket science, really! :rolleyes: I may not know every single detail of how all the rules work, but...

If the union does reject this offer (which I would consider to be pretty magnanimous of the government - and I say this as someone who is not a fan of this government by any stretch of the imagination), then we very well could see back-to-work legislation in the next few days (provided the...

Strike attendance means nothing! :rolleyes: Most of those people are there for the $75 a day strike pay (which they need desperately). In fact, there are several interviews, by media, where the strikers look bored and disinterested, and some even openly expressing frustration at being there!

The difference here, is not only that 35% voted, but that all kinds of games and manipulative tactics were used by the Union leadership to keep voter turnout extremely low! I wonder why? hmmm… Even the appeal board (the authority that oversees these things) said as much...

Exactly!! The true victims in this whole thing are the vast majority of these workers who DID NOT vote for this strike, and are actually sick and tired of this nonsense!! The union leaders (more like corrupt mafia bosses), and a small minority of workers, who've been brainwashed into accepting...

Entirely depends on the OFFICE. I haven’t seen any activity from Scarborough SCR

Except that when the freedom convoy does it, it requires the "emergencies act" to be invoked, but when these so called "peaceful protestors" are taking over airports, blocking travelers, it's called "people just exercising their god given rights to speak up" :rolleyes:

From the way I understand it, they will be paid, but the salaries will be "recovered" later on. Exactly how that works I don't know, but I don't think they will simply get a freebie! At least, I hope not. It would be OUTRAGEOUS if that were true!

The biggest problem I see with this (at least for those of us who were already scheduled for an oath), is they might not offer “self-administered” oaths to us. They may give that option only to newly completed applicants who have not yet been scheduled.

Oath scheduling should not take that long under any circumstances. After my LPP was completed (approx. March 10), I was scheduled for April 24th oath (that is about 1.5 months). So, in the worst case scenario, it should take about a bit over a month after the strike ends, depending on how many...

All ceremonies are canceled due to the strike

No change in the tracker on the date (April 24), but the section that says “waiting on you” for the oath seems to have disappeared.

Maybe the workers are not aware of the actual consequences? If, indeed, they were, many would actually cross the line to work? Most of them seem totally fed up with this BS as well!

Everyone is assuming that all of us will have the ability to do a "self-administered" oath come June. Keep in mind that we MIGHT NOT be offered this option. They might offer it only to new applicants, who have not yet been scheduled for oath!! (just like they did with the e-certificate)!!! I...

Yes, technically you're correct. But what I meant to say, is that there might be some people who still think that their ceremonies dates are still valid even though they did not get an email invitation, and that all the rescheduled ceremonies will go behind them at the back of the line. That...

If you go to the IRCC website, that is exactly what it says! Right from the horse's mouth, so to speak! https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-ceremony.html "Due to the Government of Canada labour disruption...

Yes, in your case it is an OFFICIALLY scheduled date. But VERY VERY FEW people actually get their email so far in advance. You are one of the lucky ones. The vast majority of the people (even as seen on this forum) get their invitation email only about a week (or less) before the tracker...

The reason I think that will not happen, is because all those people who have been “scheduled” well into May, are not OFFICIALLY scheduled! It is not official, until they send the invitation email. When I got my email, it had the seat number and other critical stuff assigned! Even their own...
