GUYS, me and a friend applied for a work permit through the MexicoCity office 3.5 months ago and we haven't received anything. We have called and emailed nd no one can tell us what is going on.. just that our application is still in process... we have heard rumors that because of the strike...

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? ..and you might be right, but acting like a knows-it-all because you're canadian and discouraging all those people who are waiting YEARS to reunite with their families is not the way. It'd be totally different if you stopped insulting their beliefs and just...

i was getting my hopes up with this binding arbitration thing... unfortunately, PAFSO didn't agree to the conditions set by the government.. so the strike will continue :( and still no news about our visas...

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? totally with you. I just had an argument with someone on a facebook group because he felt like an expert on the subject and SWORE the Treasury Board wouldn't accept the binding arbitration offer. We all agreed that we had to wait and see.. and he was wrong...

OF COURSE THIS IS AFFECTING VISA APPLICATIONS!! you can search wherever you want in this forum and find people who have been waiting months for a visitor's visa... or like myself who i've been waiting 3 and a half months for a work permit, when i should've waited 3-4 weeks instead. just stop by...

YES!! ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE END OF THIS DREADFUL STRIKE!!

from what i heard, visitor/student visas are getting priority. Totally makes sense because if they have to choose between bringing immigrants to work and getting people to spend their money in Canada... well.. we go last. I called the VAC last friday and they were like "oh we'll ask the officer...

Me and another friend applied for a work permit on April 15th through the VAC in Mexico City. However, we haven't gotten an answer from the Embassy yet, tough it has been more than THREE MONTHS... they just mentioned that work visas are the most affected by the strike. My question is, HAS ANYONE...

...so you mean the treasury board wont take this offer?? what will happen then?

not the consulate/embassy. This is a rotating strike so only 60% of the Officers in charge of issuing visas are working. work is not completely stopped, just slowed down. A LOT. we've been waiting 3 months, but some people have gotten their visas after the strike started so i guess is just a...

What if we started one? i mean.. there are thousands of people only in this forum who are desperate to end this.. and while we wait, we could spread the word...

we have tried EVERYTHING. Coralin and me applied with one day of difference and we have been waiting for THREE MONTHS. we have called and emailed a thousand times.. emails are something like "your application is in progress, you are not requested to send more documents at the moment. Thank you...

did you applied through the VAC?? if you did, call them and tell them that your job is depending on this visa, and that you already have your plane ticket and everything... cuz i told them and they promised to give me my visa before the end of july... idk if it will work, but its worth the try...

sorry guys but, what kind of application are we talking about?

I'm not very sure about that... maybe they can.. do you have your work permit with you already? and you are in Canada, right? Just find another employer and start the process once you're working for them. Your previous employer doesnt have to cancel your LMO in order to find another nanny! they...

Thanks! Im already registered in an aupair site but i have to try all the possible ways to find a job now haha.. im also googling it as you said. Thank you again for your help!

well... the family was nice enough to let me continue with my application process.. so i need to find another job and once im in Canada, i will do the paperwork to change employers... if not, i'd have to find a new family and start the process all over again, which would take me another 6 months.

i am not very familiar on your topic, but.. are you already in canada?? if you're not and the family cancels your LMO, then you wont be able to enter the country... you would have to find another employer and start the process.. try convincing the family to let you use that LMO only to enter the...

Hey guys! totally off topic, but do you happen to know about anyone in Toronto looking for a live in nanny?? the thing is that because of the strike, i didnt get my visa on time and my family already found another nanny. They wont stop my visa application so i dont have to start the process all...
