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.

Is anybody is aware of this

Now there is a reason to wait .

I am not sure of PAFSO strike is real reason of delay in processing applications.

http://pafso-apase.com/news_releases.php?newsID=151

The Foreign Service entered into a legal strike position on April 2 and we initiated job action measures the same day starting with “electronic information pickets” – automatic e-mail replies informing contacts of the breakdown in contract negotiations and expressing regret for any service delay. Work-to-rule followed a week later, with FS officers refusing to do overtime, check their BlackBerries outside business hours, fill in for their bosses, or perform any tasks outside their job descriptions.

Lets see..........

If he is a citizen there are no restrictions. If he is a PR himself then he can make short trips of 2 to 3 weeks without any problem.
All the best!

First Of all congratulations Dipali......

Yes you can land directly to Calgary however if you are flying from India, I am sure you have to be land in Pearson International first to catch another flight to Calgary.

Have a wonderful life in Canada.
