Is your father "Messenger"? I think you're very lucky to have Rome as your VO, they are moving fast. Your dad should be done soon too, we just had a COPR in Vienna from an April 2013 applicant.
Yes it's him! I know I feel lucky with processing times of Rome VO but I'm anxious too!! I know it's difficult for the applicants of Vienna but I think Canada worth the waiting..

Hi Palara. This is the thread for people who applied in December. You should go to the Jamaica thread:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/kingstonjamaica-t29680.0.html

They will be able to relate to you much more.

And here is the thread for people who applied in Oct:

Hi everyone

I applied in December as well but only got SA end of March!
Did anyone else who applied in December have a long wait for SA?

Thanks
Not as far as I know. Did you apply outland or inland?

Wow Chevy, that was a long wait for SA! I haven't heard of anyone waiting so long, but I'm glad the first part is complete nonetheless.

Which Visa Office are you with? Hopefulle the 2nd stage will not disappoint :)

It's possible that they were checking if you were ever on welfare? They seem to be doing that randomly with a lot of applicants recently. One January applicant just got their SA a couple days ago too.

My visa office is London and no other documents were requested

I did think that perhaps it was the welfare and we were just unlucky in longer checks, neither of us have been on welfare so maybe that's it as we got our SA

Glad to know I'm not the only one , it just makes you wonder why when everyone else goes past you!!

Thank for the replies everyone

London VO seems to be quite fast. Their listed processing time is 11 months (which is separate from the SA processing times), but a lot of people are done way sooner than that. So wishing you a speedy process and good luck with everything.

I'm not expecting anything till late fall, but I'm ordering another set of GCMS notes just to keep me busy :p

The thread has been quiet, I guess everyone is just waiting patiently. How about we do something fun in the meantime? Since this is a very international place with people from the world over, let's exchange some traditional recipes! I'm always in the market for new cooking ideas :)
yes to quiet and some cooking ideas are never bad
I will kick off with the good old Ulster fryup,
get a large frying pan hot with oil of your choice higher the burning point the better large because everything is cooked in the same pan,
first pork sausages get them a good colour all the way around,
then add bacon and get them a nice colour too,
then potato and soda bread ( hard to get outside or Ireland ) get them in to soak up the flavour and get them brown on the out soft inside
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_bread)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_bread),
tomatoes get them in and get them crispy,
black and white pudding in next get them in for a few mins and then flip the lot and put it onto an oven warmed dish for the last ingredient
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_pudding ,
the eggs fresh oil in the pan and cook to your preference

finaly eat it up and enjoy your colestorol bomb lol

hope that keeps someone going until the next decision made
