Hey Ivesy, you will need to reset your password for your Canadavisa.com forum login, then you can simply post your update onto the London thread or PM Pinklady. I don't believe she gives out her personal email address. Here is the link to reset your password:

I'm just checking the big stats spreadsheet I downloaded about this covering October 2010 to September 2011 and it says for London spouses & partners: 20% processed within 2 months 30% processed within 2 months 50% processed within 3 months 70% processed within 5 months 80% processed within 7 months Hopefully that sheds a little light on what lies beneath the surface of that 7 month processing stat, at least up to last year. I know a few people have commented that the processing time for London seems to be a little longer lately, so maybe the stats will look different for the year up to September 2012. I can imagine adding on an extra month to each percentage bracket would more than likely account for it. I filed in late Feb and fly in mid Sept, and even with the additional step of dealing with Quebec and my medical furtherance, I'm still hopeful that perhaps I might be processed within 6 months in total. But I'm also prepared for that not being the case.

That's good information, thanks for sharing.

I am hopefully close to getting my VISA and was wondering if anyone knows if you can 'flagpole' or get your PR VISA approved in Toronto??? The border at Niagara is pretty far for us.

I did find this answer; You can go to a CIC office in Canada (Toronto, Hamiton, Barrie all have one plus others) to get stamped in or to activate your PR VISA. You can only do it by appt and these offices generally only have one morning a week that you can do it. It prob won't work for us but it may for some others that are far from the borders.

Just as a word of warning - I believe I remember reading from someone that it was strictly appointment only, and you may have to wait weeks/months to get an appointment to do it.

That said, could be a load of old guff...

Finally got my police certificate sent off for, going to tackle the mountain of forms while i'm waiting to get it back. I had a medical last year and heard it was good for 12 months, is this true?
