Hello Folks, I want to give update regarding my Visa. I was on Study Permit until 30th April. My work permit came on 24th April, 2020. I applied for TRV with my Job Letter from my Employer as I was working under Essential Service. I forgot to fill the visa information as Reason for Travel- COVID 19 as per the new processing changes by IRCC. Refer this Link
(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/apply-visit-work-student.html)
Unfortunately due to coronavirus, my visa got stuck. I heard from IRCC that they are prioritizing applications to people who want to return to Canada and perform Essential Service. I sent an email to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca but no reply from them.
I sent multiple webforms with all my details but did not worked. My Visa was stuck from 29th April, 2020- 3rd July, 2020
I heard on 1st July, 2020 the below article.
https://www.cicnews.com/2020/06/canada-resumes-visitor-visa-and-eta-processing-july-1-0614903.html and eventually with god's grace. I got my Visa Approval.
I heard many people claiming that IRCC is working to start VFS Offices in coming weeks to revamp the visa process. The links and images are mentioned as below.
Even Canada is finding ways to process files without VFS support. They are reviewing courier services to directly retrive, stamp and return the passport (mentioned in the photo)

VFS has also started returning Passports to their applicants which were stuck due to Lockdown (mentioned in the photo).
One of the college of Canada has also claimed that they heard "Vfs may be opening by 7th July, 2020". (Mentioned in the picture).
Some people have also got their student Visas.
I will be posting regular updates on this page regarding CANADA VISA AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. I am sorry, Live was not possible due to some technical difficulties.
