Thank you! Congrats to you and your wife too! :)

Hi, my original oath ceremony was at 7:45 am on April 19 (the day the strike began) and was cancelled 13 mins before it was scheduled to take place. I just received an email that it has been rescheduled to take place on May 10 at 8:30 am in person in Mississauga office. Very happy, can’t wait!

No, they can cancel a day before ideally. If the strike ends on any given day, I can’t imagine ceremonies continuing mid day as it’ll take a few hours for it to become “official” and for workers to return to work which is not until the next business day at the earliest.

The Mississauga office cancelled my April 19 7:45 am ceremony 13 mins before the event at 7:32 am. I highly suspect yours will be cancelled too. I find it extremely unprofessional that they cancel ceremonies so last minute.

I remember reading somewhere that during one of PSAC’s previous strikes, they ran out of money and had to get loans from other unions and banks. So they might have a few more buffer days before they truly run out of money. But your point is still valid, this would incentivize PSAC to reach a...

Great, that’s not too bad I guess. I was invited to do my April 19 oath ceremony on March 27. So I am roughly 3 weeks at back of the line whenever the strike ends.

What’s backline reschedule? Whats backline reschedule?

“The 2004 strike of 125,000 PSAC members was resolved in under one week, whereas the 1991 strike ended after 13 days.” - source: https://www.westernstandard.news/news/155-000-government-workers-set-to-strike-at-9-pm/article_f6fbfe90-dddd-11ed-a074-67c43817c9cd.html I guess the silver lining...

Hey, they sent me an email at 7:32 am that my 7:45 am ceremony has been cancelled due to the strike. This is so frustrating, especially since they sent instructions to switch to virtual the day before.

Looks like it. They sent me the first email shortly after noon April 18. They also noted that the office may be closed to the public on April 19.

T They sent an urgent email at around noon on April 18 with instructions that the meeting will be held virtually, followed by a second email at around 1-2 pm with additional instructions including the Zoom invite.

I have my oath ceremony on April 19. The Mississauga office emailed us with instructions to switch the in-person ceremony to a virtual ceremony via Zoom.

I will pick the second one as well. It's straight forward and exact. Better to be clear than have CIC asking questions which will delay your process regardless of how easy it is to prove.

Hello, I am in the same boat and was wondering if you were able to revoke paying your international tuition fees by proving you were at a certain stage in your PR application?

What's GCMS?

It really depends on the visa office it can take days up to a few weeks. Ours has been paid since August 31st and still no PPR. I contacted the visa office and they told me that they will finalize it in January 2019, hopefully.

Same with us, we paid our RPRF on August 31st, and still no news. They did email us and ask for copies of our renewed passports but that is all so far.

Hi, any news with your PPR?
