Just my observation from www.trackitt.com, in the recent weeks, it takes an average of about 5-6 weeks to hear back from Sydney CIO. Some hear back sooner, a lot even later than that.
I received mine by email exactly 6 weeks to the date Sydney received my application. You should check your email too if you provided it on your application form.
Mail the Application to Sydney, CANADA on May 2, 2009 (Via Royalmail UK)
Reached Sydney on May 07, 2009.
Draft Cleared on May 25, 2009.
Waiting for reply!
My friend who sent Application to Sydney, CANADA on April 25, 2009 (Via Royalmail UK)
Don't know when reached to Sydney & when payment was cleared.
But he got E-mail from Sydney, CANADA on May 05, 2009 to Submit full documents within 120 days to Canadian Embassy at London.
Hope this help.
