IRCC just want to focus on International student permits, so all students keep paying for fees from their home country. I applied for a Bridge Work permit on 21 Mar 2020, still stuck due to biometrics even if they exempted Temporary resident applications from Biometrics. Currently I have no visa no permit from last 4 months! Even service ontario refused to extend my OHIP since they want either Bridge work permit in hand or on letter head of IRCC that I applied for PR, which they wont give.
