IRCC has issued around 350–400,000 new study permits annually for the past few years. With a reported refusal rate of about 39%, that means over 660,000 applications are filed. These numbers have increased substantially since 2016, especially at the offices handling applicants from India, but now there are fewer staff and many are working from home. The obvious result that should be understood by all is longer processing times.
I have heard that this number has even increased than last year..

Wouldn't surprise me. Personally I think the trend is not sustainable, which the government basically already recognizes because the refusal rate has been going up. They can't be spending more than 3 to 5 minutes per application.

Call IRCC and ask for an update. You might have to wait in line for about 40 ~ 45 mins.
 
Will they tell till when we can expect Decision or what kind of info?? Does it mean IRCC at Canada ??
They can't tell the decision made on the file but they can tell you where the file is getting processed at, current status etc.

Yes IRCC in Canada. +1-888-242-2100 .. you will have to wait and listen to the tape before you can press keys for further directions. It'll mostly be 1 for most of the options before you reach to a point where it asks for file number. Listen to the status and the end it'll tell you to dial 0 to speak to a representative.
