Hi All,

I have a quick question regarding Citizenship Test.

Are the Citizenship Tests conducted in batches (Number of people invited at one time for writing the test) or they done individually?

In case they are done in batches, what is approximate size of a batch?

Appreciate all responses in advance!

Thanks & Have a nice day!
It depends. From what I've been seeing, it is taken in almost like a classroom fashion. You go in, the CO (citizenship officer) tells you to go to the bathroom because you can't during the test, and you do the test. They give you your score immediately after.

If it's an oral test because you have problems with reading and writing in English or French, it's probably one on one.

I am staring to panicking because I have noticed that a lot of people who got AOR end of March (like myself) had already In process status.
Should I be concerned?

Fellow February Applicants,

Greetings & Salutations!

I am posting the below mentioned question Just out of curiosity.

By when do you think we (Feb applicants) will start to get Test Invites?

I looked through the 2017 & 2018 tracker. As of today, following percentage of people have got test invites -
Oct 2017 - 66%
Nov 2017 - 46%
Dec 2017 - 22%
Jan 2018 - 10%
Feb 2018 - 2%

Above mentioned numbers indicate that significant backlog in Test Invites.

Given the situation, give your best estimates (Thinking Logically & Quantitatively).

Also, I would like to clarify that I am not being impatient or panicking. I am just trying to have a constructive conversation and analysis of the situation.

Wish you all a nice weekend!
