Now mine is making me anxious :-X I haven't had any updates (but then again, my test was updated a week AFTER I had done it...) On my interview agent told me I had a finger print request..she said it was all normal procedure just because mine was expired and wouldn't add more than 2 weeks to my process. I did the FP next day and according to RCMP they submitted it to CIC on Septh 24th...
I did get pre test RQ (nowhere on my timeline its mentioned but I sent it to them in April), the agent didn't show any concern at all during my interview, she barely asked me anything, she just checked my passport with residency calculator and was done in 5 minutes (I probably got it cause I am self employed and do travel a lot but I have waaaay more days than they request as I've been a PR for over 9 years). She was all "happy happy" its all done, no worries wont take long attitude..
So anyway...I know not a lot of time has gone by yet... I guess I just got my expectations a little high ;D

friends,

Is the citizenship test a Single Choice or Multiple Choice test??

Also can someone kindly help me with URLs of the best
online Practice Tests I can take, which match the
actual test.

Thanks in advance for the help and guidance.

Thanks Mehwish for the very useful information.

But all the Practise test I am seeing,
they only have one correct answer. So how
is it a multiple choice???

Thanks,

Hi Zaraben

This is what I found from this forum someone got: "Yup I got mine for Oct 2nd , applied Sept 24th 2014, test August 6th"

I also see in the CIC website that there is Oath ceremony on 5th Oct2015. Probably in a weeks time you might get.

I have done my test on the 27th Aug2015 and expecting Oath around mid or end of Oct2015 based on the current timing from this forum.

All the best to all, Cheers

The website don't show any ceremony after the 5th yet... I think, "us" waiting for the letters are waiting for new dates to be set, should begin to come soon *hopefully*
