Some of the biggest concerns of the Labour strike in Canada.
#IRCC
โก๏ธ Severe processing delay means increased backlogs
โก๏ธ None to negligible IRCC contact centre response
โก๏ธ Delayed study permit processing will directly impact the
#FallIntake and there may be 1000s of vacant seats in the colleges and/or rush for deferrals.
โก๏ธ Inside Canada
#biometrics not processed means further delays
โก๏ธ Visa stamping process at consulates and embassies impacted. This means that passports of applicants "may" not be returned in time or severely delayed. This has far reaching impacts and hope
@CitImmCanada has taken this into consideration
โก๏ธ Will the Express Entry Draws be impacted? - No one has the answer to this one.
In the recent media release -
@SeanFraserMP did mention that staff and employees in the International Network are available and by that I am hoping visa stamping processes outside Canada is not hampered.
Any other concerns?
Do pour in..
