I have hear abt stike in Canadian embassy, is its true, ad how long it took for strikes??????
Plzz do reply me , m waiting for m visa :) :)
 
Yes, there is a strike going on. No one can tell at this time how long will it take until it's over.
 
There is a strike. There will be visa delays. I've heard that replacement officers have been hired to help deal with the processing of applications. Strikes take as long as labour and management cannot resolve their dispute.
 
I don't believe that they hired replacement officers. Do you have a source for that?

From National Post:
The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development “is doing its utmost to continue to ensure service delivery in a timely fashion with the least amount of disruption to Canadians,” according to a spokesperson. All visa offices remain technically open, and each has a core group of staff deemed “essential,” according to Philippe Couvrette, a spokesman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Local contractors have also been hired temporarily to process visas, he said.
 
Lets all just keep our fingers crossed that the delays are minimal
