When I got mine there was a page on the CAA website that had a one-liner at the bottom saying something along the lines of 'We are now processing licence applications received on xxx date'.
It gave a good indication of when it might arrive, though I can't seem to find the page now. Nobody seemed to know about it on here at the time either, so it might still be there.
