IRCC has acknowledged the delay and said that it is taking action to improve application processing times. According to CIC News, the company plans to achieve a backlog of less than 50 percent across all business lines by the end of March 2023.

It is anticipated that the strike would result in interruptions and delays in the processing of applications, in-person appointments or events such as citizenship ceremonies, contacting IRCC by email, phone, or social media, consular citizenship and passport services, and passport services in Canada. 

Is there any way out of this scenario that we could try?

According to CIC updates, non-government organizations (NGOs) will continue to provide settlement services, health care (via the Interim Federal Health Program), and visa application centers outside of Canada.

The administration presented a proposal to boost wages by 9 percent over three years on April 17. This proposal is in line with the suggestions made by the independent Public Interest Commission. However, making sure PSAC members can keep working remotely is a major concern. employees in the public sector, according to the union, have shown that they can be just as productive working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic as they were before the outbreak. Furthermore, 90% of employees surveyed expressed a desire to continue working from home once the pandemic ended. In their present form, the government claims, the demands would substantially hamper its capacity to manage public servants and hamper service delivery to Canadians.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and fingerprinting services might be affected by the strike. The government has assured its citizens that it would continue paying the Canada Child Benefit and other benefits despite the strike. All other regular payments, including those for unemployment insurance, Canada Pension Plan, income assistance for veterans, Social Security, and the Supplemental Security Income Guarantee, will be made as usual.
