You can check online status of your application at
CIC Check Your Application Status. If you need to ask the status of your application directly from Embassy, you can use the
London VO case specific enquiry form. If that is not showing or telling you what you were looking for, you may need to request for
GCMS notes to see at which stage your file is. Only your notes will tell the exact status of your application and notes from your case worker. (More information on GCMS, refer to my post ->
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-im...-to-order-t99210.0.html;msg3494303#msg3494303 )
Current processing time for
London Visa Office is 3 years and 5 months (41 months)
In your case, your file was transferred on Jan 2013. This would put your case to 2 years and 6 months. So, still almost less than a year to go.
Regarding your investment, your investment of $800,000 for 5 years term is guaranteed. You will get this money back after 5 years. (
