As you all know the travel restrictions are extended to June 21st. The problem is my visa will expire by May 31st. Yes, the government said that they will extend/reissue the visa but does anyone have any idea how are they going to do that? Will they ask to take medicals again (mine is expired) and send the passport to embassy to get it stamped? Does anyone have their visa expire before June 21st?

What is a PR visa? You are a PR or COPR (if so, when did you get it). If COPR, instructions are on the website on extension. You will have to wait for instructions.
I got COPR on Jan 2021 which will expire on May 30th. I was wondering if anyone here had their visa expired during the restriction period.

Lots like your passport was stamped in January so yes it is possible a new medical will be needed. It also looks like you may need to add your husband to your application.

I am not married. I am engaged. Doesn't adding spouse name delay the process? That's why I postponed the wedding. My fiance and I am worried if I can't get the visa renewed before June 21st.

Canada has been pretty flexible about granting extensions due to COPR. You will likely be asked to contact IRCC when you are ready to travel. Yes there will be some delays if you add a spouse but then you'll be able to travel to Canada together versus being separated for a year if you have to sponsor your spouse from Canada.

With delays in actually landing in Canada and then coming to Canada without your spouse, and then applying for and waiting at least a year for spousal sponsorship, why would you delay your wedding.

I was planning to leave for Canada and get back to India after receiving PR for the wedding. We thought he could visit me using tourist visa before spouse visa approval. I am not sure if that works now

If you have PR, then a visitor visa for your spouse is more difficult because officer know your spouse is not visiting.

How long does it take to update spouse details into PR application?
