Read the "Discover Canada" book multiple times. This is the correct way to learn and pass the test. Give it a read atleast 3-4 times and try to understand all the information as much as possible.

Don't rely on online tests to pass as they can help you a bit to learn the information but you can't rely on the online tests to pass the test. Just do a google search for online practice tests and i think there are some iphone apps available too.

I received test invite letter (white color) this afternoon. I am asked to "appear" on June 11. Hamilton ON is my local office.
Ecas has been updated as well. No email though.
FYI, my file was transferred to local office on Feb 9.

There is an iPhone app on http://citizenshipcounts.ca/

That is a good and free app, limited amount of questions but all updated. Most other apps (even paid ones) have outdated questions - I do NOT recommend buying any paid apps.
Get that app above and do some FREE online tests (don't pay for any sites).. Read the book a few times -- understanding the "history" will help you memorize things since there's a somewhat logical sequence of events. I worked several days on "summarizing" the book which helped imprint the info in my memory but I probably went overboard with it.
The way I see it: I rather study a lot ONCE (and ensure I'll pass the first time) than having to wait/study and do the test again if I don't pass (or worse: have to do the oral exam with the judge).

20 Questions in 30 minutes and get 15 correct answers is all you need -- I did the test and re-did it (as a review) in less than 10 minutes... Once you're knowledgeable enough you can do 20 questions in about 3-5 minutes without a problem (assuming English is not much of an issue for you).

All,

hope all is well with everyone... hoping your application is coming along at a decent pace.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got my oath letter few days ago.. its on the 29th of this month. My process took exactly 8 months from the day my application was received to the oath day.

It's been a smooth ride.

S

P.S. Two months ago there was an active thread on this forum where a number of individuals were debating whether to send additional documents with your application or not. Some here believed the applicant may get RQd if you send additional documents. Well, I sent additional documents with my app. Primarily because I had a number of out of Canada trips over the past 4 years. The additional documents did not result in a RQ instead I believe it helped move my application smoothly. So, in my opinion, I would say use your judgement to decide whether your application requires additional documents or not. If you think you do, feel free to send them along with you application.

Hey desigirl, please post your oath ceremony experience. I have mine on 9th June. how long do we have to wait to apply for a passport? I am worried because I need to travel again - this time to Europe.
