    Citizenship Judge Hearing ...

    Best to call CIC to ask about this. If you have failed your test, they would at least say so, and you would have a second chance to take the test.

    I had 3 questions related to specific dates. One was asking for the year of an important event, the other two were asking about the day/month of important occurrences. Everything in Discover Canada is asked, it's just that everybody receives different set of questions.

    Best resource for Canadian citizenship test

    The study guide is provided for free, and it is a great resource, however I have to disagree that it's a short read. It's about 60 pages, and there are many details to remember, such as places, dates, important names etc. I'll read it once or twice for sure, but don't expect me to memorize the...

    Tips to new Citizenship applicants: Check your passport entry/exit stamps!

    They compared everything from my Residence Calculator with my passports. Canada does not stamp your passport when you exit, so you have to rely on the country and make sure that they stamp your passport. Another quick tip: I applied for a new passport after sending my citizenship application...

She said the judge was very professional and it was a regular conversation (so nothing to worry), but they did a lot of questions regarding the information requested. So prepare by...

    Send to the courier address. Make sure that you have a tracking number. My application was delivered 1 month later the guaranteed date (I used Canada Post). They refunded me the money, but I ended up losing a month.

    It would be beneficial to triple check the documents and even get some help from an experienced person to review your application. With all the changes of Bill C-24 in mind, you should get your application package ready as soon as possible.
