Good News !

26 September 2013 - Canada’s Foreign Service Officers Reach Tentative Agreement with Federal Government
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers is pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Treasury Board of Canada to end our six-month labour dispute.

“PAFSO is satisfied with this deal,” said PAFSO President Tim Edwards.“This agreement was reached through compromises on both sides,” continued Edwards. “We salute the spirit of constructive engagement which our employer brought to our latest discussions. This deal is a victory for free and fair bargaining in the federal public service.”

With the signing of this tentative agreement PAFSO has ordered an immediate suspension of all strike measures and work to rule. The agreement requires ratification by the PAFSO membership and approval by the full Treasury Board. PAFSO’s Executive Committee and Treasury Board president Tony Clement have agreed to recommend acceptance of the offer.

“We are pleased that the Government has recognized the tremendous value and dedication which Foreign Service Officers provide to Canadians and their elected representatives,” said Edwards. “It has been a hard-fought battle and I would like to salute the unity, resolve, and stamina of our members in securing a fair and equitable deal. We’re excited to get back to doing the work we love, promoting and protecting Canada’s values and interests abroad.”

The 1,350 Foreign Service Officers have been without a contract since July 1, 2011 and in a legal strike position since April 2, 2013. This agreement concludes the longest federal public service strike since the introduction of collective bargaining in 1967

Hi Mending my Ways

Thanks for the help, yeah our consultant is authorized rep of our case, and i got my remed through him like they emailed him. so i guess i'll getting PPR through him only!!

Hi,

If the consultant you hired in Canada is authorized representative of your sponsorship case than yes, all correspondence will be directed to him. Otherwise if you provided them your e-mail address than its through the e-mail.

By the way, how did you receive your re-medical request ? To your e-mail or to your Pakistani address ? As you'll receive the PPR the same way you received the re-medical request ? Also, I'd recommend you to inform CHC-I about the change in your mailing address.

Hey congratulations! I think it varies on a case to case basis.... What forms did they ask you to fill again? If the forms are to gauge genuineness of your relationship it may take 2+ months... if its something trivial then you could get it sooner. You're a dec 2011 case that has already completed 21 months since filing so yours could go chop chop too....

Hi,

I was asked to re-fill IMM008, 5406E, 5669E, Pakistani Nationals form, along with Re-PCC, Proof of Financial support, Dates of Co-habitation, and updated proof of contact.

That's pretty much it.

Next is either the interview or the Passport request ! after submitting requested documents it can be anywhere from 2 to 6 months before you hear something back from them.

Best of luck to you !

Usually after being requested remed from CHC-I, the chances of you landing a interview is very bleak. I never heard of any such case i believe....
