Pretty much everything is cancelled that was scheduled. It's going to be a chaos once they are back to work after strike.Just received an email, my ceremony for 27th is cancelled
Absolutely, there's going to be further delays on already delayed applications.
On the Tax Return side:
I guess the online tax applications are not impacted. Only the paper ones may be impacted.

Was that virtual or in person ?Just received an email, my ceremony for 27th is cancelled
i doubt if they will THROW OPEN the floodgates. they may do a long contained test with limited capacity (like the press release we read abt online applications - causing a slowdown there), and even after that they may start it from that date onwards (like what we saw for e-certificates i.e. past applicants were not given that option).
that said, people with differing levels of urgency/need (of citizenship n steps thereafter) will look at this move differently. those with no urgency and or purists may still want the in-person oath, just cos of the sheer feel of it - making you sense that a long journey was completed, others say who want a PP would not care less about the "feel" and want a digital self administered session....
Someone from MTL office (from another forum) who had a ceremony scheduled for 20th April, got a call yesterday for an oath ceremony scheduled today. He completed it successfully apparently (Apr 26). So people who's ceremonies were cancelled, keep an eye out for calls/missed voicemails/emails and such. I'm not sure if this was just some anomalous thing that MTL did or there will be others.
So as per the immigration minister if this strike dint happen, 10s of thousands of files would have been processed. The strike doesn't look like to be ending any sooner and that nothing is being done to end this. This whole thing sucks big time. Can't blame the workers either as they are just fighting for their rights.

This whole thing sucks big time. I applied for my passport before the strike for urgent processing. I paid the extra cost. They said passport will only be ready for pickup the day before my flight; which is tomorrow. Called passport service today and my passport is not ready because it does not qualify as urgent. Wtf! Spent so much on this trip already
