So I was told it takes 25 working days for a TRV. How do we even know how long that is with this strike?! Nothing is posted on the website for the VAC offices in mexico except that it says 25 working days. Grrrrr!

Basically they ask you to wait for 5 weeks... I guess it's their standard answer.

What if their are days that they don't work because of the strike. That was more my question. Hoping that they don't take too many days of strike action

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.
