Hey guys, wanted to ask something about the test.

are there restrictions on what time you take the test? For example my test window is from March 31st… so does that mean I could hypothetically take it at 12AM of the 31st if I wanted to? Because that’s what I’m aiming for :p

yep. No restriction as long as you do it within the window of the dates offered to you. You can do it at any time of the day. Also, ensure good lighting in the room if you do it at night. Daylight is preferred, but if you do it at night, you must also have good and sufficient light.

is it possible to go through the entire process without a tracker account? i am still unable to create one but im at the test phase (sent another webform with screenshot today) , so things are progressing. do fingerprints need to be uploaded to this online account?

Tracker is just for tracking, for your information only. There are no actions you can or are required to perform via the tracker. You should be fine without the tracker if you can receive emails from IRCC regarding the steps you need to complete and follow their instructions. However, the tracker is so much satisfying ;)

Got my test invite on March 24 and did it this morning. Got 20/20. Would definitely recommend using the citizenship test apps out there. It wasn't the exact same questions, but close enough. Happy that the process is going fast so far. Even though my tracker profile says they are waiting for information from me(old passport) that I sent in early February.

Also guys, how long does it take to receive test instructions? I haven’t received any email yet about the test. All I have is the info on the tracker :(

My paper application was returned due to a document missing from my partner after waiting for 2 months to get AOR. The said document was included initially, it’s strange how it got missing from their end. I have no doubt. I wonder why they don’t ask for the said copy to be uploaded online or email rather returning the whole docs. But we need to resend. It is an application for a group of 3 including a minor.
