There reply is same as you received:

Please be advised that due to limited operations, we will not be responding to status requests. If you have applied for a temporary resident visa, PRTD, study or work permit through the visa applications centre (VAC) or online and your application is in process at the mission, it will remain ON HOLD. Our office is working with reduced staff due to COVID-19 pandemic and cannot process your application at this time.

I think it is waste to expect anything in this month at least.

Did you also submit paper based application? Also is it LMIA exempt WP?

Did they mention "If you have applied for a temporary resident visa, PRTD, study or work permit through the visa applications centre (VAC) or online and your application is in process at the mission, it will remain ON HOLD."

Does it mean both paper and online applications are on hold? btw today I got an update - they sent a biometrics correspondence letter. May I ask you what is the latest update on your application?

They did not mention anything.
From what I understood from their email is it applies to both paper based and online.
Great! good that you received.
My latest is medical updated on portal 6th February and biometrics updated on portal 16th March.
 
Any one in this chain got any update from IRCC post temporary work permit resumption?
