Well there is a thread for February 2013 applicants that you could join.
For stage 1, it's nice to know where the others are at - and for stage 2, a thread of your own VO is a good way to know what is happening.
here is for February 2013 http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/february-2013-outland-only-applications-here-is-your-thread-t133667.0.html
