Many who need to renew their passports and visas or even take their citizenship oaths have been waiting in limbo amid a 10-day strike by members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
Amaya Hernandez Villavicencio, a student from Mexico, said her application for a student permit had already been delayed a year during the pandemic, which prevented her from starting her studies in Canada on time.
Villavicencio is one of more than 20 people who emailed CTV News about how they’ve been impacted by the PSAC strike. Arezoo said she was planning on visiting her brother in the U.S. next month, but if she isn’t able to take her oath next week she’s not sure if she will be able to enter the country. “I hope this strike comes to a fair end for all Canadians.”
