1. Probably your case file is continuing with CHC-Isb itself (hasn't transferred to CHC-London).
2. Islamabad is quite slow, thus delays r expected.
3. Send them an email to enquire your "case progress update".

DEAR QORAX,i sended 2 e mails nd i got that reply.
Thank you for your enquiry.
As of April 1, 2010, applications for permanent residence under the Economic categories for citizens or residents of Pakistan will be processed by our office in London, UK. The economic categories are comprised of Federal skilled Workers, Federal Investors, Self-Employed, Entrepreneurs, Provincial Nominees and Quebec-selected Permanent Workers and Business People. Although Islamabad will continue processing a few applications that are close to completion, the majority are being transferred to London. The file transfer of existing permanent residence applications under the Economic categories is currently underway.
We, the Islamabad Office, are not updating your file or adding any information to your file in response to your email.
However, the information below may be useful to you:
If you have received instructions from our office in Islamabad to submit documents, please submit the documents to our mission in Islamabad as instructed.
If you have received instructions from CIO Sydney to submit your application package, please submit these documents to our mission in London. If you have already submitted your application package to Islamabad, then Islamabad will automatically forward this on to London.
If you are enquiring if your application has been transferred and will be processed in London, please be advised that the London Office will contact you when they are in a position to begin processing your application. We regret that neither our office nor London office is able to provide status updates at this time. You may wish to resend your enquiry after November 2010 to the London Office.
At this point, it is too early to tell what the new processing times will be for these cases in London.
We thank you for your patience during this transition period and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
