Thank you Sir. Its very kind of you. I thought they got stuck on 26th June.

I think it is due to very less applicants at sheet for this duration specially payment mode with CC... So i just posted for information that ball is rolling at CIC at slow speed....

16 September 2013 - PAFSO Regrets Government’s Appeal of Bad-Faith Ruling, Urges Return to Negotiating Table
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) deeply regrets the Government of Canada’s decision to file an appeal today with the Federal Court and challenge a ruling that it negotiated in bad faith with its own employees. PAFSO again urges the Treasury Board to alter its unconstructive approach and return to the negotiating table as soon as possible.

“The Government’s actions today bring us no closer to a settlement,” said Tim Edwards, PAFSO president. “This appeal unnecessarily prolongs what is already one of the longest strikes in federal public service history, at great cost to the Canadian economy and Canada’s reputation as a destination for tourism, study, and employment – to say nothing of tens of thousands of visa applicants and prospective immigrants whose lives are being put on hold.”

In a ruling released on Friday, the Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB) found that Treasury Board president Tony Clement violated his duty to bargain in good faith when, in response to PAFSO’s proposal of binding arbitration, he sought to impose preconditions on the arbitration process which he knew PAFSO could not reasonably accept as they would have predetermined the outcome in the Government’s favour.

“In her ruling, the adjudicator provided a clear roadmap for both sides to put an end to this damaging dispute: resume negotiations or enter into unfettered binding arbitration,” continued Mr. Edwards. “We believe that the Government should do the responsible thing and heed her advice. Enough time has been wasted already.”

In recent weeks, Treasury Board has reached settlements with two other public service unions by offering them wage hikes which equal or exceed those requested by PAFSO. These two settlements are proof positive that the Government is more than capable of addressing long-standing wage gaps of up to $14,000 between diplomats and other government professionals.

“We look forward to receiving the same treatment which has been accorded to other unions at the negotiating table. Alternatively, our offer to take this dispute to binding arbitration without paralyzing preconditions still stands,” concluded Mr. Edwards.

Admin plz clear one thing in returned applications the date against return is the date when cic return applications or when the applicants receive their pack i think it is mix but does not give right idea so plz all the members who their applications returned should clearly mention whether its return date by the cio or the date they receive on.

Its a mix of both....some user report application received date while some CIC return date.
It's tough again to contact all user's to rectify the problem since most of returned applicants are not active anymore.

I just don't get it, why are they keep calling themselves diplomats?

Are those people doing dull and monotone paperwork and tossing our papers for years between different drawers, just following strict instructions and preset procedures while doing this, nothing else, consider themselves as doing skillful diplomatic work?

What kind of 'diplomatic' knowledge and skills needed for this job?

To me they are more like clerks and bureaucrats, then diplomats.
And quite frankly, these clerks were doing their job just terribly, considering all those huge backlogs and timelines, even before strike.

Nice to see your post after a long time Idima ;D

 

[Shree1985]

It can take quite a while to get your docs back.
If you can, get duplicate certificates ASAP and send a whole new complete file without waiting for the old to be returned.

Any take on this??? Can I have sum1 answering my questions as early as possible?? as I want to reapply again. Just a few doubts & if resolved will sail on the same boat...
