Update Explained

On May 12, there is a scheduled national demonstration organized by unions. However, public transportation is expected to be minimally affected. Therefore, individuals who have been invited for a personal interview at the CGRS on this date should try to attend as planned. If someone is unable to reach the CGRS due to unexpected circumstances on the day of the demonstration, it is crucial to inform the CGRS by email, providing their name and file number. The CGRS will then arrange for a new interview appointment.
