Is this figured into the unemployment figures Oh great we made government even more expensive for the tax payer.

My daughter-in-law just got her passport after applying in March!

Dither dither

'Bracing for a rise'? Did the line-ups of people around the block get their spider senses tingling?

😢😢👀

9 months late cbc liberal lackeys

Those 600 and the Goblin's 700 new CATSA agents will be added to the Liberals' 'jobs created' report. They will produce nothing, they will be pure overhead.

Are they quadruple vaxxed though?

Not sure why people aren’t using the mail in service. It was easy and fast.

Did someone proof read this nonsense!

yup look who is in lineup lol

Conclusion.. Canada will send more money to Ukraine. Trudeau 🤦🏻‍♂️

Covid/slaughter in the Ukraine/ but let's make sure everyone thinks waiting in a line is carnage. Thx MSM.

JustinTrudeau why are the line up at Service Canada so bad?

So much for that vaunted easy, online service-which no one seems to be using

As long as their vaccinated and bi lingual

I feel for the employees. They’re doing their best. Don’t make plans to travel until you have your travel documents in hand. It’s not the government’s fault everyone wants to travel at the same time.

Few years back I went through the hiring process for the passport clerk position. Interviews, tests, references, background checks .... for a 6 month contract. Can't imagine they went through all that for 600 new employees in a short time.

Welcome to the hotel Canada. You can check out anytime you want but you can never leave.

Build back better

This is ridiculous and just so awful.

Great, more federal employees with benefits and pension for life...

And the GTAA says that the govt is going to keep ArriveCan. What a mess. The app is only about control.

Says the propaganda machine. They’ve been bracing? Nonsense. When did they hire all these people? Really when? The job market is so tight companies can’t find people but the govt just hired 500 for CATSA and on other 600 for passports? Come on.

📢 let's Gooooooo, I need mine renewed! ✨🌎🙏

Unbelievable that a country with a mere 30 million is unable to cater to the needs of providing the basic document - Passport.

I submitted my newborn sons passport by mail, on the Thursday before Good Friday and I am still waiting. The sad part is, that I’ve been able to get his NEXUS through the US government before he gets his Canadian passport!

Now they can have more people rotating between breaks and shuffling paper at peak times or does that mean all windows will be open and serviced at peak times

Not a single soul in Passport Canada saw this coming.

How many were fired for being unvaccinated? The govt made this mess. They couldn’t even hire them before creating a 3 month back log. Useless.

Same issues in Australia with long lines for renewing passports. travel

About the only jobs liberals create.

Creat 600 more jobs😆

My Canadian passports were destroyed by a REMAXca agent. Try reporting some real news. PierrePoilievre RebelNewsOnline jordanbpeterson

Another day in sweet liberal paradise

This was so predictable and preventable. 🖕 If our government was a business, it'd be audited, closed and then sued.

1000's more people to wait in chaos at TorontoPearson

Some of the highest taxes in the world and the government can’t even provide the most basic of services
