Same here. The only invite I received for the test is the in-person one. It also says document verification. Do you have more info on what to expect? What documents they specifically look for etc ?

They just want PR card and any provincial one (healthcard or drivers license one). P.S. Don't stress about it there will be 50+ random people with you, it is regular thing now. You will do test on papers like in school and after they immediately will mark them and check ids, plus they will tell you things that you have completed and you even can ask some questions to them
