@Royangel14: Me too, I'm leaving my job on the 31st and because of this, I might reconsider not resigning.

Hopefully the Government of Canada and PAFSO can start negotiating so that there won't be additional delays to the already delayed visa processing in different embassies and consulate offices.

Docrz... I submitted my resignation last June25 pa but the effectivity was last Thursday July25, If I only knew this would happen I wouldn't have done that... They should just give back my documents and passport then so I can try applying for a visa in another country and they should just give back the processing fee paid by applicants if they're not going to process any visas at all... Haaay... Sorry bitter na... :(

A small spark of hope for us Royangel14. I looked into the composition of employees in CEM. It says: “The Manila visa office is a large centre for both permanent and temporary migration. Our office currently consists of 19 Canada based officers, including 2 medical officers and a CBSA liaison officer. There are also 77 locally engaged staff, 10 of whom are designated to render decisions on visa applications.” So we still have at least 10 Filipino visa officers who can work on our applications... My hope just came back to life!
