Job Action: Canadian Foreign Service Workers

Canadian foreign service workers: The job action by Canada's foreign service officers is causing a slowdown in visa applications. Some Canadian foreign service workers at 15 embassies expanded their job action earlier this week, according to CBC. "We have a number of cities from several countries that have had delays in their granting of visas. As a result, they're getting quite nervous, as are we, that it may affect their travel plans," Metulynsky said and Job action by federal civil servants might prevent hundreds of kids from around the world from participating in the International Children's Games in Windsor, Ont., next month. The games are to begin Aug. 14 and project coordinator Walt Metulynsky is worried teams and athletes from foreign countries might not be allowed into the country. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
