How will the federal public servants’ strike affect you? Here’s everything you need to know
The union has warned about slowdowns at the border and airports, as many administrative workers within the CBSA would be off the job. However, the agency said it expects “services to travellers and businesses will be maintained,” as uniformed staff will remain.Last week, the union said a strike would cause “a complete shutdown of tax season.” The CRA said Canadians should expect some services to be “delayed or unavailable.
Currently, there are no plans to extend the tax filing deadline past May 1, and the CRA said it would continue to accept all tax returns. Those submitted digitally will be processed automatically without delay, while paper submissions will take longer.We encourage Canadians to file their taxes as soon as possible, not only this year, but every year,” the CRA said.
Service Canada locations will limit their focus to those requiring help with the above programs, along with people receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Significantly, most domestic passport services will be unavailable. Passport processing will be limited to clients experiencing “humanitarian or emergency situations,” including people at risk of financial hardship, those who rely on travel as a source of employment and whose income would be jeopardized, people who must travel for medical reasons or who’ve had a family death or illness, and those whose situation is “deemed urgent on compassionate grounds.
