PSAC has filed a policy grievance against Treasury Board over Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) failure to follow the Workforce Adjustment Appendix when implementing its Voluntary Departure Program.

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a day of action. Its roots trace back to women workers who marched for better wages, safer conditions and the right to be heard. The 1912 Bread and Roses strike, led by immigrant women textile workers, demanded not only fair pay (“bread”) but also dignity and respect (“roses”). These women knew that real change happens when we stand together and history has proven them right.

Ongoing tariff disputes with the United States are threating economic stability and job security. CEIU members will feel these impacts, not just in their workplaces, but in their daily lives and communities.  

CEIU hosted its inaugural Health and Safety Conference in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, from Dec. 8 to 11, drawing 120 delegates, observers and guests from across the country under the theme, “Speak out for your health.” 

Some 60 members participated in the Canada Employment and Immigration Union’s first National Young Workers Conference, Dec. 12-13, 2024 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. 

As indicated in the last update published on our site, January 2025, the hearing of the policy grievance, filed on March 29, 2019, did take place, in person in Ottawa, on Thursday, September 12, 2024, before the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS).

This International Women's Day, CEIU and your National women’s committee are proud to introduce our theme: Your Voice is Your Vote. Women’s voices shape our communities, our policies, and our futures, yet too often, our priorities are overlooked. This year, we are amplifying the issues that matter most to women:

CEIU is pleased to announce that the 2025 CEIU National IRCC Conference will be held on May 6 & 7, 2025 at the Toronto Marriott City Centre, at One Blue Jays Way, in Toronto, ON Registration and a meet and greet will be held starting at 7 p.m. on May 5, 2025.

CEIU is hereby calling for nominations for the position of Alternate National Vice-President for the Immigration & Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
