I applied by paper on 31th Jan, haven't got any updates.
Is IRCC still processing paper-based applications?
I heard they have temporarily stopped the process of paper applications.
I feel nervous all the time.

I feel nervous all the time.
I am in the same shoe, applied by paper. No update. In case the decision is not made on time or be positive, and the status of work/study ends, what should we do? Is there some one to share comments? Please someone help, I am very anxious.

I think the immigration officers might be working remotely, so they would only have access to electronic applications for now.
Probably the only thing you can do is wait for them to get back in the office and start reviewing the paper ones again.
I've heard of people resubmitting their applications electronically with a letter of explanation, so I guess you could do that, but I don't really know. You'd have to pay the fees again and by the time it gets processed they'll probably be back in the office anyway...

You should do that ASAP. Even if you are eligible for 3 years PGWP and your passport on file is only valid for a year, they will issue the PGWP for only a year.
Use the online form to submit your new passport information: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
The processing time for WP inside Canada changed from 36 days last week(28th July) to 95 days(4th Aug).
Do on your friend's account, they uploaded the approval letter?? Or your friend called to check with them.
The newly posted processing time doesn't seem to apply to the no-biometrics applicants.
I applied for PGWP without biometrics on 03 April, which is 124 days ago. Eligibility review has not yet started. I'll post any updates here.
I just called IRCC and the agent said that she does not know which date they are processing currently.
Hey guys!
Here's my timeline and I'm wondering if anyone can share theirs as well??
November 2019 - Graduated from University, At that point, enrolled in a post-graduate certificate program
February 20 - CIC Received study permit extension.
March 31 - Study permit expired
April 30 - Finished post-graduate certificate program
May 25 - CIC received PGWP application
I have a job offer from a financial institution that starts August 31st, I'm super worried I won't get my work permit by then. I've submitted my job offer document through the web form in hopes of having my application speedend up a little.
Singapore passport is biometric so I never needed to give biometrics.
