It won't affect the decision but it will likely delay the app.

As above there will obviously be delays and some parts of the process you will not currently be able to complete but other than that if you are ready to submit then do so,

I sent my paper application on March 2, they received it om 6 March. This was before everything shut down due to Covid-19. Still no response from IRCC or any email. Probably because there is very few people working in the building.

They will accept your application but expect delays. This virus is messing with everyone's lives.

it would have always taken 6-8 weeks for AOR. It will likely take longer.
