11月27日中午12點，加拿大郵政正式結束輪流罷工。預計正在積壓的包裹需要幾周到幾個月的時間進行清理，但是對平信（大簽郵寄）和加急（小簽、移民貼簽郵寄）的影響有限。擔心包裹被拖延的申請人依然可以用UPS等快遞郵寄申請，CPC – Ottawa也支持用UPS的預付費信封寄回護照。
從下周起如無客戶的特殊指示，我們將恢復使用Canada Post貼簽和郵寄申請材料。
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.
