Yes, they have nothing to do with Pakistani applicants who have applied to sponsor their spouses.

They made the annoucement of reopening visa offices in Pakistan today. I just checked today, I wanted to share good news with everyone. I know it is not easy living in Canada while our spouses are half way across the world. Due to the COVID 19 everything stopped. By sharing, this announcement with everyone here, I wanted to give everyone hope that we are united with our spouses quickly.

Does anyone know of someone who's medicals have expired and they are asked to redo medicals? Because I see a lot of people have spend 500+ days after their applications were received but the sheet doesn't say that they were asked to do medicals again.
My wife's medicals are expiring on 5th of September.
