General strike. Impact of labour disruptions at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

Overview

The Public Service Alliance of Canada declared a general strike beginning Wednesday, April 19^th. As a result, bargaining groups representing 159,000 public servants are on strike. These employees provide a range of services for the public.

During this labour disruption, certain services may be delayed or not delivered at all. As well, the public may have trouble accessing some Government of Canada buildings where services are delivered.

Services partially or fully disrupted

Most IRCC services, like most Government of Canada services, are impacted. You should expect delays with the following:
