it makes sense if they close for now, but it doesn't say it is closed
"Due to ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19,
preventative measures have been enacted throughout our global network of offices. Consular services remain available to Canadians. Many Government of Canada offices are encouraging clients to limit in-person visits"
it just says preventative measures and in my opinion it most likely means no in person contacts such as interviews and Biometrics... Maybe only essential staffers to provide services to Canadians abroad.
Tough time for all

Canada still approving permanent residence applications
IRCC will continue to process new applications for permanent residence. Files with missing documents will be retained in the system and reviewed within 90 days.
Complete applications will be processed according to normal procedures.
New applications with missing supporting documentation will need to include an explanation that they are impacted by service interruptions due to the new coronavirus.
IRCC will take into account processing delays that may occur for principal applicants who are in Canada and have dependents abroad in China, Iran or South Korea who are unable to travel at this time. These applicants will not be granted permanent residence until travel is possible and they will be informed of the next steps.
Applicants for permanent residence who are in possession of a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and a Permanent Resident Visa (PRV) and who inform the IRCC that they are unable to travel will be able to maintain the validity of their documents."
