"Canada’s tourism and education industries are at stake as visitors and international students scramble to get their visas amid a strike by Canadian foreign service officers."

So if you have applied under FSW, you apparently don't have to worry.

Unfortunately I spoke to a lady at PAFSO and she said all applications will be considerably affected by the strike
