It's not different. Take receipt of paid fees and they'll be again to look it up. likely generic email
all in person interviews/biometrics canceled and will be rescheduled re coronavirusHello!
I’ll give you my point of view from my experience, first time I applied for a work permit was in a POE but I paid Online in advance before traveling to Canada, I didn’t know exactly how the process was going to be, so I paid the fees and when I landed, I handed my documentation and my prove of payment. They took more time tracking the payment than processing my work permit, at the end, the officer suggested me to make the payment there again, and to ask for a reimbursement of the one I paid in advance. I did exactly as he told me and around 10 days later I got my money back.
It may be a common template as another user said, that‘s very possible, but if you don’t want to risk it, you could pay it “again” and ask it back after everything goes as expected on your landing interview
Now, regarding your interview date, by any chance did you get a cancellation warning or something for the virus thing? I’m in Canada and I applied for a BOWP, I had an appointment for tomorrow March 15th to go to a biometrics collection point and I just got a cancellation email...
I have a deadline and of course it will be met and passed by the time I can reschedule the appointment, I guess they would extend the deadlines and consider this worldwide matter...
Good luck to you and I hope soon everything gets solved and you can come to Canada as planned!
Thanks for the details. I have not yet got any cancellation e-mail but I guess I will get one soon. I see the information on the website now as per link provided by CTV92.Hello!

As per their instructions, still, there will be a telephonic interview for folks who already got an appointment.
congrats!!
Yes, that happened with another friend of mine who applied through BC PNP as well. After receiving the passport back from Ottawa (people are saying it's taking around 10 days), we need to do the landing (interview or flagpole). Since the new interviews are suspended until April 13, it seems the best option is to go to the USA border.
Hi,
Yes, it is - nothing has changed there so far:
Thanks for this Info. I think Medical exams passed: Dec 17, 2019 has removed from my account because my medical is expired today.
Hey
Yes It's Possible, I did My landing on Saturday Morning, 14th March at Lansdowne (thousand Island Bridge crossing).
