Thanks for this information. I didn't know this about the temporary number and the fact of not having one brings the possibility of return of the application no matter covid. I actually can't call, I can just have faith to have one there. Thanks for your wishes ;)

Honestly, don’t worry about getting your application returned.
I want to say this again- Maybe the agent that commented was not aware of the IRCC statement of “No application will be returned due to missing documents”.
I know the feeling of thinking that the application might be lost or on way back- Hope is there. I think that’s why they have started opening all the packages and giving temporary numbers.

My application was received 25th March but I got the same email reply to my query today:

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We have verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is not available in the system yet.

However, rest assured that this situation is normal since the responsible office is currently processing applications received before February 12, 2020.

We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website.
