August 2020 - Citizenship application

[harirajmohan]

Test was easy but few questions were tricky . Must read DISCOVER CANADA thoroughly at least once or twice . Practice tests will give you more confidence.
I managed to get 19/ 20, Studied 3 days . You can review your answers before finally submitting . Half hour is enough time to answer 20 questions .
Uploading ID picture and your photo is also very easy as long as you read the instructions carefully . You get little nervous in start but your nerves calm down as you take the test .

All the best Everyone.

3 days only.... I am still confused on content(names, years etc) and still failing some practice tests after 7 days of preparation

Try to understand Discover Canada book . Every question is from the book. We are not native Canadians therefore IRCC also understand that we can not learn or memorize each and every detail , specially dates . Even I know Canadian born people who know very less about Canada’s history .
Long story short as far as my test experience is concerned the questions were very basic ,if you have read DISCOVER CANADA thoroughly & do some mock tests . You will pass the test .

All the best.

Well, the answers to ALL your questions are in the test invitation and on the IRCC website but here it is again.....

1) Yes. 30 minutes. You have 20 questions to answer and get at least 15 right.
2) The Discover Canada book.
3) You'll have to re-take the citizenship test (likely orally) with an IRCC official present. This is done over MS teams - The officer will show a PowerPoint slide and you'll have to answer questions orally.

Discover Canada is the main resource. Read the entire book at least once.

In addition to that, prepare using the following:

Is your application Urgent ?

When did you get your test invite ?

What is your complete timeline till now ?

 

[jd93]

Another question is if we got the test invite it means they have already calculated our days present in Canada and passed our presence? Or it is done at later step

Wrote and passed the test today. Test was easy. Reading Discover Canada thrice definitely helped. The login process was also quite simple.

Can I take the test if I am outside of Canada? Will it be an issue?

I'm trying to figure out the same thing... Some people seem to have been able to recently.

I actually just emailed a friend who knows someone who works at CIC in Ottawa to ask if they knew. If I hear anything, I'll post it here and let you all know.

Thank you! It doesn't seem to be an issue according to my logic since it's online... but I was wondering if I will have problems with access when I actually start the test...
