Update personal information
Before voting begins, CFIA members should log into their PSAC Member Portal and make sure their mailing address and personal email are up to date because voting PIN numbers will be sent by their preferred method of communication.
It’s also crucial that CFIA members ensure they remain PSAC members in good standing before voting begins. Due to issues with the Phoenix pay system, members who ought to be in good standing have been rendered not in good standing because their dues have abruptly stopped (despite their continued employment).
A new online form is now available where members can request to remain in good standing in absence of union dues.
