Thank you for this info Wayne. So we will be expecting at least an additional 1 week to our waiting for our passports to be back. We have 2 sets of Fri+Mon which are public holidays in the UK, owing to Prince William's wedding this Friday followed by May first bank holiday on the Monday.
So basically:- Friday 22nd April + Monday 25th April = public holiday Friday 29th April + Monday 2nd May = public holiday
This means that CHC London will probably only be working 3 days this week, and some staff may have taken those 3 days off in order to get the entire 22nd April to 2nd May stretch off!
Wayne.

Yeah - basically over last weekend and the forthcoming weekend, we'll lose 4 business days with public holidays, plus this week will probably be slower since they'll have fewer staff. I'd budget a delay of 1 to 2 weeks. Wayne.

Friends I sent query to London Visa Office after 8 months passed to my 2nd AOR letter. I asked them how long further it will take... here is the response that I just got.
This is in response to your enquiry.
Unfortunately, it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected.
During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.
This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed. Because they reflect Canada's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis.
Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
Yours sincerely,
When I had advised my consultant to send an enquiry to CHC london they got a reply that from London as below ' since the department have received applications for more than 425,000 people ( between Feb 27th 2008 & June 25 ,2010 ) & that 144,000 had not yet received a decision' Mine was one among the 2nd AOR's which were asked to wait for 8 months 'it also says that it may take for so many applicants may have to wait 2 or more number of years for the applications to get processed.......  All my plans have gone for a toss.... I am now confused.... 
@ tallprince
i also got the same reply when my consultant sent a case specific enquiry. i believe its the standard reply. But indeed its creating lot of confusion as well.
Seniors please shed some light
regards Vaibhav
3 of you got same reply, Very sad to see this.

Thank you for your enquiry.
Your documents are now on file.
CIC is working closely to manage arrivals in Canada, so that we meet, but do not exceed the immigration plan set by Parliament last fall for 2011. Since we have larger inventories of applications than limits within the immigration plan for admissions to Canada, we must process applications according to the priorities set by Parliament. As we have a sufficient number of applications in our high priority categories, we are not in a position to process your application at this time, nor can we predict when processing on your application will resume.
Yours sincerely,
Client Service Unit
