there is a downsteam impact to closing the borders, which means no more issuing of coprs, which means a pause in processing of applications which means pause in intake of applications which means pause in invites.

Yes, they are basically restricting tourist movement. This does not affect immigration as they've stated residents can still come.
And in Europe people are still going in to offices unless specifically advised not to. People still need to work and pay the bills. It's about being vigilant when it comes to health practices for yourself and others so that we minimise the impact on the health care system so that those who need treatment can get it.
Except they've already indicated there'd be no major impact as of right now. They'll be extending the window for submissions from 60 days to 90 days after ITA, and if unable to travel after COPR has been granted you must inform IRCC and they will review and extend. Halting EE and any future applications as of right now won't address any issues because anyone applying now won't receive COPR until months from now and won't be travelling until later in the year. Its those that received COPR recently that may be affected and need to figure out their next steps in the current climate.
Honestly, it's like everyone just wants to jump straight to worst-case scenario without considering anything else. Think rationally people. And expect business as usual until we get a clear indicator otherwise.
Bro the cic specifically mentioned that there will be extra time 90days given to applicants to submit applications if there are any delays due to coronavirus impact in their location.And also the other article they posted on cicnews about immigration level increase says it is crucial at this time regardless of economic recession or any other factors due to low birth rate and more number of retirees in next decade.They said for the countries where embassies were closed can be given extra time if the explanation letter is provided.So nothing will pause the invites,the invites are not something handed over in person as all of us know.
And also not all IELTS centres withdrawn from conducting tests only a few.If there is a case that all the exam centres closed then IRCC may make changes though they will have enough candidates in the pool as the score drops.The people who were on HOLD like the new candidates(1st time IELTS outland applicants) or others with expired IELTS score need to give attempt will effect in those situations.And IRCC may come up with something in such cases..But for sure dont expect any pause in invitations as if now..About land pooling they have also given extra time as some service centres closed.
They said any documents that reached their offices after 10th March will not be processed until further notice .. anything received before will be evaluated as normal.
They do not say that. They only say that applications received after March 10th will be delayed.
That delay may be of 1 week, or more, no one actually knows.
Nobody knows what will happen on wednesday.
Still few people will try to demotivate others at their best.
CIC stated all of their measures, if they had any plan on putting EE process or draws on halt they would have said so.
In worst case scenario they will reduce ITAs because some of their offices are closed(about closed offices, they mentioned on cicnews)
We should speculate on some real grounds from what CIC said officially rather than fear mongering on forum because you already got PR and having survival job to feed yourself at minimum wage so you get your frustration out. Grow up please

One thing I noticed is that this week there's no maintenance note on CIC website, as we've been seeing for the past months. Kinda of a bad sign, isn't it?
(Or maybe simply there isn't enough IT guys in the office to the maintenance tasks, so they're delaying it)
