It's pretty easy. You just need to read it carefully because they have some tricky questions.

I agree. The richmond library citizenship mock exam was good help for me too.
I am March 2026 applicant. My last update was on July 28th on my test completed status. Nothing after that.
My partner had to call IRCC to raise a ticket. Seems like it is an ongoing issue. He was told by the agent that the tracker has regular issues such as this.Hello Everyone,

I cannot create tracker account as of today, is anyone else also facing the same issue?
Any help is appreciated

Has anyone here received their AOR on or before August 26 and is still waiting for the Test Invite?

How do you guys call IRCC? Every time I call them, at the last step, the automated voice says that, due to the high volume of calls, they can't transfer the call to an agent. Called several times a day, but it's the same.
Honestly, I call right at 8am on the dot and still wait ages. The IVR is an absolute nightmare.
When I clicked the “Start the test” button for my Canadian citizenship test, the timer started at 18 minutes instead of 45 minutes. This made me wonder if I experienced a technical issue while taking the test.
I was able to complete the entire test within the time shown, clicked “Submit,” and received a passing result.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be considered a technical error, and is there a possibility that IRCC could ask me to retake the test because of this?

That’s strange. Never heard of anything like that happening. There’s an email address in the test invite letter to ask about technical issues so maybe send them a message?
Or I guess you can just wait for them to validate your results. You got 3 chances anyway.
i think anything between 2 days to a month.
but right now theres no way to check because apparently the tracker is not updating, and most people completing test after mid august aren't getting anything back.
Anyone who is still on the edge about taking the test.
1> Read Discovery Canada At least Once
2> Give Mock Tests From Richmond or Toronto Public Library
3> If you are clearing those mocks with 18-20 correct and in like 10-15 minutes then you should be good with real test
Real test is easy - worded different than mock tests questions obviously but questions/events in real test were in mocks I had given. Some of the Answers were deductible and can be figured out by process of elimination - though it should not be the first approach for all the questions.
One more thing I think that made test easy for me is that I read half of the study guide in one sitting on Friday and attempted test on Friday Night and I had retained maximum of read material.
