VFS cannot do anything until Canada moves further. There was protest happened, but I guess Canadian government is showing their priority for:
A. International Students (everyone knows why) (P.s. I was an international Student as well years ago)
B. Asylum claimants working in the health-care sector (At least they have to show that they are working and caring)
C. Inland Spousal Sponsorship (Many are getting Medical requests and Openwork permit pilot program for Inland Spousal applications in Canada class)

Few of our fellows have seen the progress on their applications too, from some VOs. Not sure when will CPC-Mississauga start working on outland applications.
