Hi Didi i Vanio,
I raised CSE on 01.12.2015 and received a reply by officer MG on 23.12.2015. He wrote that my application is "pending review on queue based on date of receipt".
My PER email was in late February 2015 and my application was forwarded to Bucharest VO accordingly late. So I assume the applicants who got PERs before us will be processed before us by BVO.
My CAIPS notes dated 04.12.2015 show that nothing was done to our application (Admissibility, criminality checks, relative in Canada etc.). The delay in PER seems, was caused by a 40 CAD overpaid amount. BulBank BG issued incorrect amount on the manager's cheque. (They re-issued it thrice lol for which we paid the issuing fees 3x.When the bank finally got the Receiver name correct, the amount went wrong.. )
I hope this sheds some light.
I'm not ready to give up the Canada dream yet...but the wait is aggravating and costly in our case.
Please keep in touch everybody and good luck.
