I was so active members before the strike began but this strike ruin my activeness.
Lets hope we all get our Visas soon
Now Tim Edword and his party in at the door of Public Service Labour Relations Board and according to his speeches from the last Monday I am confident that he and party(PAFSO members) loose their hope that CANADIAN GOVT will give them something.
Now the students ongoing VISAS for September Batch are almost to complete and also for the Months of OCTOBER and NOVEMBER the numbers of visitors are so less as compared to Summer days in CANADA.
So i believe that the month of SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER is for us as far as visa stamping is concern whether there is strike or not.
You will see in the last week of August or in the 1st week of September TIM EDWORD and his Party will come back on work because the FALL session is going to start on 16th of SEPTEMBER and in that session GOVT will not going smooth with PAFSO. This fact is also known by PAFSO.
So dear friends these are the last days of our wait and i pray that we all will meet soon in where the maple leaves are in large quantity
Regards

what does that mean jack .in last they have made an order which is not clear
 
Hello Sir
According to Canadian Constitution it is only the Parliament that Directly order them to return on work so in that case PAFSO have no choice other then returning to work otherwise the will be replaced or fired.
Fall session going to start from 16th September thats why now Tim Edword and his party shows more concern for Binding Abr

if i m not wrong, the last para means to replace treasury board secretariate i.e. PAFSO with cic staff.
If that's the case, the days of wait will gone???
 
this is only an amendment which is not in place - it sates to transfer power to cic from Treasury board

none of this impact or reduce the hardship which we are in currently


Final decision still pending - no update currently

but amendment is amendment, right?
 
Guys chill out..

The strike is just part of the unexpected things that will come along the way.. I myself was disappointed but at the end of the day, its every Canadian Citizen's right, after all Canada is a democratic country.. ;D and We don't have any rights or whatsoever to get mad at them coz we are the one who wanted to be in their country.. Its just unfortunate..

..And oh by the way, the Canadian embassy requested our passport last July 3 and sent it last July 17 and got it back with Visa last August 7, and as you can see the timeline was during the time when PAFSO declared a total withdrawal of their services including here in Manila.. ;D
