My citizenship test experience

[swoop81]

Thought I had write about my test which I passed today as I have found this website useful before.

Preparation

DIscover Canada, and also practice test here:

http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

Documents taken

Passports, PR card, COPR, notice letter, driver's license, photocopy of passport photo page - interviewer only wanted passports, photocopies of passport photo page, PR card, driver's license

The notice says 'any other document you submitted with your application - and I didn't know whether you needed to take the Residence Calculator printout - they didn't ask for it

Test

Mine was at 10:02 - got there around 9:50 and most people had already sat down in the room - it doesn't really matter as long as you get there about 10 minutes before
You are given an answer sheet paper that you have to write your name and then sign - it also has bubbles for the 20 questions that you would answer - you need to get 15 correct to pass
I finished it in about 10 minutes, submitted the paper, and then went to a waiting room.

Interview

They call you in the order you finish the test, so after a wait of about 20 minutes, I was called to booth 3 - not a room just booths with interviewers.
Lady asked me for the documents I mention above. Then she verified the Residence calculator printout (which she had) against entries in my passport. She asked me about a couple of entries, and also asked me if I had the e-ticket for a trip I made to New York, which I could pull up on my phone, but that was it. Took about 10 minutes and now they will send me an email about the ceremony in 3-5 months.

Hope this helps someone. All the best!

This was the Vancouver office (on Expo Blvd). They did not ask me for employment proof - they asked me whether I am working for the same company that I was working for when I applied - and I replied I was.

Yes usually when the CO is satisfied with the application, at the time of the interview they will just ask a couple of standard questions and verify the passport and it's done

Again congrats, and best of luck with the oath letter soon.
