Under new general processing measures, IRCC says applications will not be refused for non-compliance and all those currently in progress at IRCC offices abroad at case processing centres and within the Domestic Network will continue to be processed. There may be delays as some visa application centres are closed until further notice, and some IRCC offices are operating with essential staff only.
So i would guess it would at least slow things down for a while and maybe later on issue them in bulk.

Guys, I am anxious and everyone is anxious about their application. But, think about it- how would you feel as an employee if your department gave customers a 6 month processing time and they start calling from 1 month- 2 months....wanting to know where things are. We would be frustrated and I think the agents are getting more and more annoyed with us everyday. I've seen on this forum where ppl recommend GCMS notes when the application is at 4 months and I agree. Let us try to give them some time. Also, I think COVID will pushback processing times as is stated on the cic website.
My Case is similar except for FSW - Outland
Aor - 30 Jan 2020
Medical - 12 Feb 2020
Biometric - 14 Feb 2020

I would suggest to wait for 60 days from AOR - ie until 30 March 2020 in our case, and then raise for any request or u can call IRCC
I know you guys have been patiently waiting on for PR approval and in the time like this where delays are imperative due to Covid-19, you may want to order GCMS notes. I would not say that it will speed up the process but definitely triggers an update to your file visible to your Visa Officer.
It is my personal experience and I may stand corrected. I got an update on my file in 3 days of ordering notes. I have seen that happening to other guys aswell.

An Application moves to the next stage only and only when it says “Passed” . Rest all these stages
1. Valid
2. Recommended Passed
3. Met
signifies that someone Senior needs to review it before marking it pass.
A total of 2,792 cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Canada as of March 24, 2020 at 6:00 PM EDT (Figure 1).
Twenty-seven deaths have been reported.
I am inland and this morning my husband was told not to report to work until further notice. Things are getting worse and more places are closing and the agents at the visa offices in Canada will definitely be working less. It doesn't seem as if things will be changing anytime soon.
