I don't know how to read this info:
"IRCC also continues to process study permit and work permit applications submitted online and permanent residence applications, to the extent possible. Paper applications for visitor visas, study permits and work permits will not be processed until further notice."
They split applications into three categories:
Online: Work permits etc. -> Green light to continue
Permanent Residence -> Yellow light (processing to the extend possible)
Paper Base (Without PR) -> Red light, no processing at all.
Based on no positive info for several months in forums/app tracker it's look more like we are in third category which will not be processed until further notice.

I hope I'm wrong and they will resume processing paper PR application.
