11月27日中午12点,加拿大邮政正式结束轮流罢工。预计正在积压的包裹需要几周到几个月的时间进行清理,但是对平信(大签邮寄)和加急(小签、移民贴签邮寄)的影响有限。担心包裹被拖延的申请人依然可以用UPS等快递邮寄申请,CPC – Ottawa也支持用UPS的预付费信封寄回护照。
从下周起如无客户的特殊指示,我们将恢复使用Canada Post贴签和邮寄申请材料。
Canada Post is working to stabilize operations after the end of the rotating strikes. With our network currently facing unprecedented backlogs, customers can continue to expect delivery delays for the next several weeks.
Our current outlook is:
for parcels: Deliveries will continue but be delayed during the peak holiday season and into January 2019. Existing backlogs are expected to worsen this week due to high volumes from Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
for Lettermail: The backlog should be cleared and deliveries current before December 25.
for International parcels: Delays are likely to stretch into March of 2019. International items will require screening by the Canada Border Services Agency. We are working in partnership with them to manage the significant existing backlog.
for direct marketing mail: We expect to be current before December 25, but some delays may occur and time-sensitive pieces will be delivered on a best-effort basis.
Once Canada Post receives mail or parcels from customers, it is processing and delivering on a first-in, first-out basis.Thank you for your continued patience.
