Thank you so much Seggie for a detailed breakdown of the movement of your file, it just shows that London VOs do not take as long as thought. So i guess the major delay is the initial assessment done by CIO because if it was done on time and sent to London, your timeline might not have been this long.Thanks Johnsyk. Added a little summary below as well.
12th June 2017 - My file was reviewed by the Program Assistant where he made the following comment: That medical documents are valid, proof of funds were met, marriage certificate is on file and outstanding document is RPRF.
13th June 2017 - My file was reviewed by Case Analyst where made the following comment: Appears to meet the requirement, outstanding document is RPRF, the duties listed in the reference letters appears to be consistent with substantial number of main duties under NOC selected. The letter(s) of reference appear to demonstrate that the PA met the minimum requirements of 12 months experience.
14th June 2017 - File was transferred on this day from Central Intake Office (CIO) to London office
20th June 2017 - An officer from London VO put a note "Appears RFV pending RPRF
10th July 2017 - RPRF, travel bio page and height information requested, paid same day and uploaded information

@johnsyk - When was your file moved to London office? Mine took two months to PPR after it was moved to London.
All the best guys. I pray it rains PPR in here SOON for everyone as well.
Anyway Congratulations, so happy for you. May God make the rest of your journey smooth as well.
