Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

[yyzstudent]

That's not true.
I'm a PR and I'm working for the government. There were a bunch of posts stating that citizens and PR are on the same level. There is some exceptions but there's exceptions for everything, such as positions only for native people.
Also new comers have available training that is helpful when getting a job for the government.
So let's not spread misinformation and instead support people who's jobs are to help people.

Already been concluded that I was wrong.

They mention delays in ceremonies, what i understood this for new ones, but current ones will be cancelled?

It doesn't say "new". Considering that if they are on strike, performing citizenship oaths would be breaking the strike and that isn't allowed. If I had an oath ceremony scheduled for when they are on strike, I would assume it would be postponed until after the strike is concluded.

Does this mean all Oath ceremonies even if on Apr 19 will be cancelled?

Irregardless of how long they strike for ircc is going to blame the strike for all delays over the next several months if not years.

The original press release from IRCC says that oath ceremonies, application processing, passport services, consular services, and contacting IRCC will be affected... We'll know more as people who have Oaths scheduled tomorrow will post here with updates...
