If Canada believes things are getting back to normal (or at least operational capacity) soon, then many financial assistance, including Canada Emergency Response Benefit, will not extend to at least the end of August, with a possibility of further extension.

That is a clear sign that non-essential services, like passports for Canadian not in an urgency, will be on hold indefinitely.
