We got a letter from IRCC earlier today as a response to our "case status enquiry". They confirmed application is still being processed and is within standard processing times, but the last paragraph reads:

"In addition, if you wish to extend your stay in Canada, you may apply to renew your visitor status online. Please refer to our website for more information on visiting Canada"

But it's an outland application. I would like to know if this is just a generic paragraph. Is this something someone with an outland application has received? Or is IRCC attempting to process the application as if the PA were already in Canada?

For additional context, I noticed at some point that the PA's address changed to the sponsor's address in Canada (per application tracker). We checked with IRCC during two separate calls to understand why that happened. No explanation was given, we were assured it was not a problem and then it changed back. The PA is not in Canada and does not have a TRV. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Just generic. It's possible they have you as being in Canada, worst that will happen is they send an invite for virtual landing instead of passport request. That's easily dealt with when/if it happens, it'll have instructions.
