The recent Canadian federal worker strike had a significant impact on essential services such as healthcare, immigration, and passport renewals. The strike, which began on April 19, has affected everyone from migrant workers to sponsored relatives, from foreign students to refugee claimants whose hearings have been canceled. The strike involved approximately 155,000 public sector union workers, with an agreement reached with 120,000 workers.
