Unionized foreign services officers are returning to the negotiating table on Monday, June 3, following a request from the Treasury Board Secretariat, according to the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO).

“Targeted withdrawals” of service will continue until the contents of the Treasury Board's offer are known, the union said, but it plans to unilaterally suspend all withdrawals on May 31 as “a demonstration of goodwill and to foster a positive environment for talks” with the Treasury Board.

PAFSO members have withdrawn services this week in three international locations, and three geadquarters divisions at the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

The affected missions and work units are: Manila, Cairo, Canada's Permanent Mission to the Organization of Amercian States in Washington, D.C., and the International Economic Relations & Summits Division, North America Policy & Relations Division, and Hemispheric Affairs Division in Ottawa.

In addition, all remaining PAFSO members are engaged in the eighth week of a work-to-rule campaign at headquarters and posts abroad.

The union has a strike mandate from its members, as 82 per cent voted in favour of job action after contract talks broke down on Jan. 31. It has been in a legal strike position since April 2.

PAFSO claims its members are paid between $3,000 and $14,000 less than counterparts in comparable occupational groups. It is seeking wage increases to allow them to catch up with other federal government professionals such as economists, commerce officers and lawyers.

hello po, new to this thread, i hope someone can help me out a bit.

i recently got a refusal for a canadian study permit. due to lack of establishment in the PH - my whole family are already canadian PRs.

just looking at other options now so i was just wondering, if i do get a job in canada, are my chances at getting a work visa better?

yes if you qualified for that job e.g experinces and education, if the company ur working to has a good reputation to workers specially to foreign and if they cant find locals for that job or the locals stay longer. If you got the three of that even most of your families are PR now you have a big chance to come and work in canada.

@ sing_kit08 and kesh16 it simply means na the main reason why there were delays in the processing of applications it was because of the officers' ongoing salary issues apparently.. They resumed operations on june 3 2013. I guess, there is reAlly nothing we can do at this moment but to wait for the results. I myself is very upset because of this completely inefficient and seemed to be disorganized process.. I hope there is customer satisfaction survey for them, and we all know they are gonna fail. Sorry for ranting, im just disgusted by all this.. >:(
