Ask for an appointment tpo see the MP at their next surgery, they have to hold them so that's where to go to meet them.

I also applied from Toronto(priority). Biometrics on July 26th. Non-straightforward email October 5th. Only a handful of Canada applications about but luckily around the same ish time as me so I've been watching with baited breath for them to hear back.

I follow the timelines on the British expat section of expatforum and the priority and non priority threads on uk-yankee. Sorry, apparently I can't post url links yet.

I hope this helps!

application was done July 6th and I've had very limited contact with HO.
I did not pay for priority so I am curious to see if it will make a difference for your application! Thank you for your post!

My husband has tried to email the British Embassy Manila and asked for the status of my application prior to arranging a meeting with his MP.

Luckily, they've replied and said that my application is still being assessed by an ECO in Sheffield and is moving forward.

Praying and hoping that there's a positive outcome to my application, as well as for those who are still waiting like me.
