What is the best way to prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test? Are there any good websites, forums, or practice tests that you would recommend?
the objectively best way? read THE book. absolutely nothing that's not on that book will be tested. it took me 1 full day to finish the book, and i'd say that reading it once was enough for me to get 20/20.

shortcuts? i'd advise against that. but if you just don't want to read the book, there are a couple of youtube videos you can look up that contains ~500 sample questions and is ~4 hrs in length. you might need to pause and take notes or whatever, so i don't really think it's that time-efficient compared to just reading the book. Also these videos don't cover everything and people still say they encountered unseen questions in the test after studying from the videos.

also there's an app if you search for "canada citizenship test", and you can pay 6 dollars for a week of membership to use their material and test questions, which are kinda similar to the youtube videos.

honestly, just read the book first. you can definitely finish it before your test window date. and then if you want, check out these other resources later.

#1 this is the AOR

#2 most people need to wait at least 48 to 72 hours before they can register in tracker. this is especially true if the error you got is the "your application not found... may be be in the system yet..." one

#3 even after a few days waiting, people who got AORs in recent days seem to have trouble registering. so if you still can't after a week or so, you can probably give them a call to get some info.

#4 bottom line is, even if you can never get tracker account (like some people did) it doesn't really actually matter. all important actions to take will still be communicated through emails.
 
I already took the exam and scores 19 out of 20. All of the questions are based on Discover Canada. I am just worried because I left a tab open where the link for the exam is located. I did not open nor try to close it and stayed at the exam site. I hope everything goes well.
