This is messed up! Once this happens, many applications will get backlogged again, the momentum will be lost and possible that several of the applications get lost in the file folders.
That would really suck but let’s not be so pessimistic. Hopefully it doesn't come to that and things keep moving in an orderly manner.

"In the event of a labour disruption, like most Government of Canada services, most IRCC services would be impacted".

See list of services that will be impacted, they include application processing and citizenship ceremonies.

If no deal by 9pm today, strike starts 12:01am per union president
They just announced no tentative agreement was reached. strike begins at 12:01 am

The COVID excuse for IRCC backlogs and delays has run its course now the strike of 2023 will be used to blame ongoing failures. Should be good for the next 2-3 more years.

Agreed. They used Covid excuse for so long, now whenever we will call they will use the strike excuse.

Hopefully they reach an agreement soon. I was excited that our processes were moving really fast, but at the same time, in my case, this is not a big deal, as I'm already PR. I feel for those on student or temporary visas.
