On a positive note, I did come across some PA's from Pakistan who applied in July and got their DM last week. So who knows, but expect the worst scenario... Just hope you'll be out before late October and messy Brexit will kick in.New Delhi seems to have faster processing than London UK then!
What have the experiences of those going via London UK been? Do they deliver early/on the 12 months (or longer...!)

I would say that's perfectly normal. All still well within the 12 month timeline. I'm in exactly the same situation (although application is in London) Have patience. Good luck!
wow...would they not tell us by email if application has been put into extra security checks?
well i do get pulled in every time i visit Vancouver...someone with my name and DOB makes them do extra checks. Literally a 2 min check once I'm called in though.
I got treated like a criminal in Vancouver. I guess having long hair, coming from Amsterdam and having cycled over the entire globe, raised a bunch of flags. The officer at the airport bluntly told me in my face that he rather not have me in "his" country... My first welcome to Canadian hospitality haha!

Wow lists of questions! Thanks a lot. We we will work on that. How did your interview go?
I didn't have. I got this from a person who was denied due to genuineness and had to do an appeal. These were the questions they asked in the hearing. I suppose they will be similar to an interview to determine genuineness
