    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    All of IRCC will go back to work. Edit: reading the subreddit it looks like lots of unhappy people with the details of the deal. It may result in the deal getting rejected and back to a potential strike. Let's hope it doesn't get to that

    I haven't seen any moderation here either, this is why all threads eventually derail into a whining fest :confused:

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    Those are all possibilities of course but the question was what if they reject. In a Union with 130k workers you cannot expect unity in people's goals and expectations for the strike. For many WFH is worth more than salary increase while for others that can't work from home it will be...

    Citizenship certificate after ceremony

    You email IRCC and call to try and ask for urgent or expedited emission of the certificate. During the strike this is unlikely to get solved quickly

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    The strike continues and the gov enters risky waters if it decides to try to pass back to work legislation as ndp already ruled it out. And CPC supporting it would potentially jeopardize the next elections. This may be a gambit TBS is not fully ready for...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    During COVID many departments actually hired from all over the country as opposed to mostly from national capital region and other big gov cities. This allowed to hire better people from all over Canada which was more fair to applicants across entire Canada and not artificially restrict to...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    Why stop at 10 or 20. They're at least 100 after they learn what to do 6 months in to the job... Then another new one comes in a year and be inefficient for another 6 months... Rinse and repeat. What a great use of tax dollars lol

    It's hilarious to read people saying IRCC employees earn too much and then suggest contracting out jobs lol. Wait until you learn an average contractor earns 2-4x than a full time employee...

    When you lack arguments based on facts and statistics you resort to repeating lies and name calling.

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    I am not sure this is a comprehension problem but all of us here are affected by the strike if we live in Canada. More to the point, my IRCC application is also affected just like everyone else's is... The difference is that I don't come into a forum whining about my application being delayed by...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    The lack of memory from immigrants is a known phenomena. It is not uncommon for them to be very grateful initially when immigrating but eventually even adopt anti immigration policies later in life, often confusing the human with the country they are coming from. More often than not, people's...

    Piece on CBC on WFH, including environmental and quality of life advantages. I love seeing my colleagues in the office but I don't love the wasted time commuting that could be better spent elsewhere. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/psac-strike-telework-contract-1.6824596

    Do we have to file taxes even though we don't generate any income, anymore?

    Each individual files taxes, no one can file them for you. It's not clear at this point if you filed with 0 income or not at all. You should try and understand what really happened with your returns.

    That's not how democracies work. Also, just because you get treated like disposable resource in private sector doesn't mean that others want to live in a country upholding those values.
