Canada is currently experiencing a national postal strike, which means that no mail is currently being delivered across the country. This situation will cause significant delays in receiving important documents, packages and correspondence from immigration departments.
At Ackah Law, we understand how vital timely communication and document delivery are, especially for those navigating the immigration process. While we are taking steps to minimize disruptions for our clients, it’s important for everyone impacted by this strike to stay informed. We cannot control the disruption from the postal strike, but we can keep you updated!
What Does This Mean for You?
If you are expecting documents or packages through Canada Post, here’s what you should know:
- Delays Are Likely: Delivery times for mail may be significantly extended, so please be patient
- Alternatives May Be Needed: Consider using courier services or electronic delivery options when available if you need to send documents to Ackah Law or any immigration office; and
- Be Proactive: If you have deadlines or require time-sensitive documentation, reach out to Ackah Law to explore alternatives.
