This is actually planned by the authorities , unless there is a vaccine there would be no new PRs allowed until March- June 2021 in my opinion, just look at the pace of new PPRs ,it is slowing down and decreasing dramatically, also fun fact ( but not so fun for us ) they are giving work permits for temporary visitors while they have thousands and thousands of people who invested time and money to immigrate and work in Canada , instead they are keeping them out and filling the shortage by giving work permits to temporary visitors , where's the logic here ? The only logic here is that they are telling us no new PRs allowed IN before a long long time.
