What’s Happening at Service Canada?

After trimming its passport workforce in May, Service Canada has once again pulled out the axe — affecting approximately 250 positions.

“These [job] cuts are not just numbers on a balance sheet,” the Canada Employment and Immigration Union said in a statement on Oct. 6.

“They represent a direct attack on workers who have tirelessly served Canadians through waves of unprecedented demand.”

It remains unclear if both unionized and non-unionized employees are affected by the latest workforce reduction.
