I have posted this at least twice, but here we go again
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/processing-traitement.aspx
I clearly says "Skilled Workers with Arranged Employment: 6 months"
This is the most recent update to the specific site for processing times at the London VO and so it is a genuine piece of information, not speculation or from an untrustworthy source.
It clearly isn't happening at London, but it should be from their own mouths.
Thanks Louise for the support on this issue.
You're welcome! ;)

Kind regards,
Louise!

Thanks for +ve Rohan....smwhere i read NDVO has staff of 150 in VISA section....now this staff is divided in various parallel systems VO is running(Post feb2008,Pre feb2008.Post 26/6,AEO cases) but prob with month May is there is lots of additional load(Visitor Visas & Student Visas),so staff dealing our files gets diluted..Usually any addition made to our case(Security checks , medicals etc)opens file before BFD(Qorax in BFD expained)otherwise file is marked another BFD...so my assumption is since most of BFD's fell on holidays so files were marked another BFD by system .

Could you pls clarify. Additions opens our file before bfd otherwise file is marked another bfd. I think most of us who are trying to crack the visa office code had our medicals completed and sent before the bfd so where is the question of holiday and file being marked for another bfd.

So there are additions before the bfd

Ok! Time for a little humor!!!

Three Canadian blondes died and found themselves standing before
St.Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom,
they had to tell him what Easter represented. The first blonde
said, “Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give
thanks and eat turkey.” St. Peter said, “Noooooo,” and he banished
her to Hell.

The second blonde said, “Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth
and exchange gifts.” St. Peter said, “Noooooo,” and he banished her
to Hell.

The third blonde said she knew what Easter was, and St. Peter
said, “So, tell me.” She said, “Easter is a Christian holiday that
coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having
Passover feast with his disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and
the Romans arrested Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and
eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very
large boulder ... ” St. Peter said, “Verrrrrry good.” Then the
blonde continued, “Now, every year the Jews roll away the boulder
and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks
of hockey.”

St. Peter fainted. ;D
Lol classic film, Groundhog Day :) "What about the satellites? Is is snowing in space?"... ;)

Ok, this one is quite old (an Internet classic) but for those who haven't read it yet.....

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy
aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio
conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on
10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to
avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the
North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15
degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR
COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

Yes almost all of us sent our medicals and other documents before BFD...but that alone is not enough..other reports like Background and security have to be added to files as well(this part is handled by assistants)...if all reports are recieved well before BFD visa officer MAY open particular file before BFD(as explained by qorax)otherwise file gets marked another BFD.

did you know that it is a tradition that you do not shave if your team get to the Semi finals? My husband reported this to me this morning, as Vancouver Canucks are now in the "no shave" zone.
It is obligatory for the team and fans also follow the rule if they are fanatical followers, which I believe most of them are! So expect lots of men with hairy faces around the West Coast in the coming days. I wonder if the female fans will have to stop hair removal as well? ;D
