Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

What he said.

Okay, so one person said no and the other person said yes. I need to know too. My husband has been under process since November of 2012. His paperwork is going through manila. And we are frightened because we are now waiting in Canada, and the first round of his visitor visa is almost up.

I need to know too.

Nobody really knows how it is affecting applications, so unfortunately you won't get any firm answers here.

I am so scared for my husband. They requested his passport in May, we sent it and never heard from them since.

Every embassy has a compliment of staff that cannot strike. They will continue to work on applications but each step is now prolonged even more than it was before the strike. So there is some movement but it is slow.

We are going to end in an argument here as all the info I have been able to find out means that the FSW's on strike include those working on all kinds of applications. Those would include family class applications. What bears this out are the newspaper articles, PAFSO releases, the CIC website as well as the substantially fewer visas being processed.

I have no idea where you get your information from. It would be in everyone's best interest if you posted it.
