Biometrics I gave on 3rd july as stated in my post.
I hold Pakistani nationality but living in UK for 3 years and work as a doctor.
Have you been to Canada/US in last 10 years? might be extra checks they are carrying out. A lot of applications are delayed/exceeded normal processing time. You can send another email to expediate the application process. Have the subject as Urgent to LDNIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca

Thanks a lot for the reply.

No I haven't travelled to US or Canada in the past.
I have been in touch with LDNIMMIgration - the last email was under active review and when I emailed on this address they asked me to submit another case specific enquiry online which I have done.

Thanks alot ,
So I applied online - VFS is london.
I applied in June 2018 mid electronically and was asked to submit my biometrics before 5th july 2018.
I submitted biometrics on 3rd july 2018 and my travel dates were mentioned of september and they did not respond at all and only reply I got from the VFS london was under active review and await the final decision.
Final decision - 16th november 2018.

Although my travel plans got all ruined and my husband had to go alone to canada as he had to visit his family and he has a PR card but still happy will plan something next year now.

But finally, you done it. Great!

Can I know after getting 'under active review' how long it took to get final decision? Because I have got this response since one month before, but still there is no response about final decision. It has been 18 weeks.

Thanks

I think the visa duration is related with your passport's expiry date. If your passport is valid upto 2028 than definitely you can get longer visa.

1. Your online application is being processed by the London visa office and not by VFS London.

2. What is the update for your Background checks status?
