I received my notes two days earlier than 30 days. It is a good news. Bad news is that it is no any uopdates in it. Basically it is in a waiting stage. How long... Is anyone has something?
 
Has anyone applied for parents supervisa recently?
 
My parents applied online for multiple visitor visa month ago. They just received the medical request for their multiple visitor visa application. According to previous email they will receive the medical request for sponsorship application by early 2014. I am just wonder if they do the medical test now it will be waived for sponsorship application later (within a year)?

If they will get request to provide the police certificates during 12 months (because the medicine is valid 1 year), then logically they do not have to pass it twice... Also, it depends if the strke will be done by the end of this year, the situation in the Middle East etc... Good Luck and keep us posted !

Canadian immigration strike over
07 October 2013



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.
A union which represents Canadian immigration officers stationed at embassies and consulates around the world has come to a pay deal with the Canadian government after four months of industrial action.

It has announced that overseas visa staff will now work to clear a backlog of visa applications as quickly as possible.

Does it mean we have hope now? Is this about parents visa as well? Please, read below.



CIC advised people to apply online
The Canadian immigration department, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) advised applicants from overseas to apply online, where possible, so that their applications could be dealt with by staff in Canada.
Most work-related visas such as permanent resident visas issued under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) are processed in Canada.

The dispute then went to the Canadian Public Service Labour Relations Board where negotiations were conducted on the Canadian government's behalf by Canada's Treasury Board president, Tony Clement. Mr Clement said that the government would stick to a standard deal.

Government offers pay deal backdated to 2011
However, after the Board ruled that Mr Clements had negotiated in bad faith, he recommenced negotiations and a deal was struck. The government offered PAFSO the pay rate that it had initially sought backdated to 2011. The union agreed not to pursue severance pay for staff that leave their posts voluntarily.
The deal still has to be approved by PAFSO members, which seems likely. PAFSO president Tim Edwards will be recommending that his members accept the offer. Mr Edwards says that staff will do all they can to eliminate the backlog as quickly as possible.
 
I think they meant about the Temporary visas. The Permanent visas is quite different stroy...
