1. What they say is not wrong and clearly stated on their website.I told them to get the application moving. They can blatantly give the same status, I asked them to work on my application repeatedly.
It had been more than 35 business days and that's when they told me that "35 business days" start when they have reviewed all the documents, not when I sent the documents and not when WES received them..
WES is the worst foreign organization I have dealt with.
2. What makes it frustrating is the long waiting period before documents are accepted, and of course all the generic & automated responses they give.
3. With so much uncertainty, I have decided to apply for ICES simultaneously.
