Alert – Strike Action

The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) union is currently taking strike action. PAFSO union members responsible for processing visa applications have been walking out of offices in Canada and overseas.

Posted processing times for both temporary and permanent resident visa applications do not take into account work stoppages.

Anyone applying for a visa should anticipate delays and submit their application as far in advance as possible.

Contingency plans are already in place to ensure all offices remain open and are providing at least a minimum level of service. Priority will be placed on urgent humanitarian applications.

CIC continues to closely monitor the situation.

Yea man, this damn process better end soon n successfully...since these "unforseen problems+chc saying in their emails that we have huge number of applications to process" is a red flag and NOT a good thing (since we have seen previously that their strategy to get rid of the backlog is VERY dangerous)...chalo--lets hope for the best !!! Sigh....sick of this rubbish n useless delay....
