Hearing over. Adjudicator will issue written decision in "due course." No timeline. Hearing likely done, unless more questions. #dipstrike

Michelle Zilio ‏ @ MichelleZilio 4m

PAFSO President Tim Edwards says he is satisfied with how today's hearing went. He's hopeful for a decision in union's favour. #dipstrike

Michelle Zilio ‏ @ MichelleZilio 3m

Job action continues at major visa processing centres until either arbitration begins or agreement reached via negotiation #dipstike

Now we wait, but we on this board are no strangers to waiting right! ;)

So speaking of which job action means the strike continues wow!!! more waiting.

No set date for decision + each party has 10 days to appeal so this is long ways

It's not a judge per se, and though she probably has a decision it will be put in writing, which is what will take time.
Even once she rules does not mean the strike will end. each party has 10 days to appeal the decision.
This will not be as quick a process as people would hope.
 
@MichelleZilio: Once PSLRC decision is issued, each party will have 10 days to appeal. No timeline on decision. #dipstrike"

LOL ..I so AGREE with you
 
I went to my MP office yesterday and gave them authorization forms to check the status of our application. MP office called me back today as they have already got reply from NDVO.

As per NDVO reply, file is not yet reviewed. File has been assigned to an officer. Normal processing time is 11 months. If applicant doesn't hear anything till November or December, they can contact NDVO directly or can make another enquiry thorugh MP. If applicant needs a passport to travel , he/she must send us a written request along with proof ( air ticket ) to request passport back.

I am not expecting this strike to be over very soon which will cause further and further delays.

Hi fellow WAiting Canadians,

Just thought of sharing this with everyone. Ok so I was personally at the NDVO today as I wanted to give a explanation to sone visa office r who would hear me out as I wanted to request them to speed my process up as my wife is expecting a baby and is facing a lot of problems without me. So the security gaurd hands me a request form which I had to fill out and give him back , which she would forward to some guy sitting behind the window. 5 mins later he comes back and says that my file is "in que " and I was just supposed to wait. He cited the reason saying that as There is only one Visa Issuing officer in place where there were 10 before the strik so the work seems to be going a less than a snails pace. Now is took place on the 21 August 2013 @ 10-15 AM.

I know that everyone knows for a fact that the strike is going on , But just wanted to post this that I have personaaly felt the effect . Had travelled all the way from Hyderabad to do this...and All I got was 3 mins worth of conversation with the security ....

Dont mean to dissapoint anybody but this is the ground reality we facing right now....Hope something good comes out of the godddamn arbitration , else like all things WAITING IS GONNAN BE LONGER.................
REGARDS
