    Last year it was around mid january (with slots throughout february), will probs be same this year. They've followed the exact same timeline with my application this year as with last year - now awaiting the written exercise.

    They're extremely efficient. Probably because it's still quite early in the process. I got my WG two months after applying. Then, I was given my video interview invite about a week ago. Then, they invited me to AC yesterday.
