Local embassies will be processing outland PGWP apps.

Yes. I just contacted them. here is their response (looks like an automated message just like those from IRCC):

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your email.
Your file is in queue for processing. We will try to keep processing times as short as possible. However due to pandemic, we are providing only essential services with a limited footprint, so processing times may be longer than usual.

Thank you/Merci,
