- Start date
Mine is Feb 15th. No update yet. Yes, no movement after Feb 13th for the last two weeks. NY consulate doesn't care about our mental pressure waiting for our passports at least even without the WP 
if they have online status options that would ease things a lot.
All we can do now is pray God and hope for the best.

Canada: Labor Dispute Likely to Delay Overseas Application Processing
Employers and their foreign workers should expect processing delays for Temporary Resident Visa and work permit applications submitted to diplomatic posts overseas, due to recent labor actions by Canada’s Foreign Service Officers union.
Canada’s Foreign Service Officers union, which includes immigration and visa officers abroad, are now engaged in labor actions that are likely to result in processing delays for Temporary Resident Visa and work permit applications submitted to diplomatic posts overseas. Officers are still reporting to work at this time, but they are limiting their hours and not responding to work emails.
Overseas immigration processing will likely remain subject to delays until the strike ends. At this time, there is no indication how long the strike will last or whether it might escalate into a full work stoppage.
Fragomen will monitor the strike and disseminate further alerts as the situation develops.
