At Halifax’s passport’s office, some travelers were able to pick already processed passports, others left empty-handed.
During the strike, Service Canada will only be processing domestic passport applications for emergency and humanitarian situations.
Tahirih Paul drove to the Halifax passport office from Cape Breton.
She planned to pay more money to fast-track her daughter’s passport renewal to take her to Disneyland next week.
On Wednesday she learned that couldn’t happen.
“I actually came up yesterday and I had the passport application but my husband didn’t sign it so I had to go all the way back to Cape Breton to get him to sign it,” she said, adding she is a strong supporter of public servants because she used to be one.
