Same here!!! File received on February 20th and today got the Biometrics Request! Took an appointment for Monday! Finallyyyyyy some movement! We just got the TRV application refused yesterday so that's some good news that we needed! (Important to note that I didn't get the Sponsor Approved message... I've seen some people who said they never received it but the file just moved on...)
Hope to hear some more good news from everyone!

They’re supposed to include a letter as to why it was returned. Did you have a temporary file number?
Did they put any mark your application forms? Just double check the signatures and required document.
YES a letter with explanation MUST be included in the same package, try reading all docs carefully. It is very upsetting when whole file is returned back for a minor mistake, which could have been corrected by sending /uploading extra forms/docs in to the same. They wrote on web that we will not return any applications for lack of certain documents which could not be obtained because of chorona virus pandemic . ALso check your e-mails.
Jotdeep I wonder why they returned the whole application without any reason or letter in it!! It is written on IRCC website:-
"Applications that are incomplete will not be returned due to unavailable documents, but will be retained in the system and reviewed again in 90 days. Once an application is first received, it takes IRCC 3 months to open and review an application. Including the 90 additional days provided by IRCC to obtain the missing documents, individuals will have 6 months following the receipt of the application to provide the missing documents. ."

I thought they wont return application even if it's incomplete at times like this? They said they will give the applicant enough time to complete submitted incomplete application?
Do not panic. Have you received the SA approval letter? Try to contact IRCC on Tuesday (Monday long weekend) and ask them the reason.
It is advisable to submit docs only after AOR1 as you have the file no. This way docs are attached to the right file. I am waiting to submit PCC and PPT
