October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[victoras88]

Use the Discover Canada guide that was included with your test invite. Read it a couple times and pay attention to the boxes with information on the pages. That is all you really need to prepare for the test.

Due to confidentiality discussing the test questions are a no no so you aren't going to get anyone to give you specifics. On top of that, there are several different tests and the people sitting around you will get a different test to the one you are given.

Thanks for reply, to clarify I am not expecting to get the specific questions. Just wondering how different real questions are from the one we can find online. Also in order to pass we need to answer x out of ?

Congrats!
I am waiting for more than two months now (test and interview on Feb 16). The wait is frustrating

i can understand your feeling. i went through that too. you should get yours soon if your application is still routine at this moment. have you been asked for any additional documents since test?

Hi,
I have my citizenship test on Tuesday (Ontario).I don't know if anyone who pass the test is still reading this forum but if it does could you guys share your experience ? like how are the questions? what source did you use to prepare?
I am using this as sample questions http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/index.cfm?get_answers=1&language=en

Thanks,
Victor

Read Discover Canada 4-5 times... You will pass...

 

[leicesterguy]

Which office??

Vancouver

You need to answer correctly 15 out of 20 questions. They are multiple choice questions. In my opinion it was quite easy. Don't forget to read the captions next to the pictures. Some questions may come from there.

Hello - Any idea why Montreal's office didn't show any Test Invite letter since April 6 ?

 

[wvo2017]

i can understand your feeling. i went through that too. you should get yours soon if your application is still routine at this moment. have you been asked for any additional documents since test?

Thanks. No, I have not get any request for additional documnets after the test. I have got my ATIP notes. Everything is passed only the security check is pending.

 

[upandgoing]

I came to Canada as a PR in aug 2014. However my eligibility period is from april 2013-april 2018...when I am filling out my physical presence calculator it says to tell the days when you have been outside of Canada. I never left Canada after coming here. Still do I have to write I was in UK from 2013 april -2014 aug...as it asks for the days when you left canada and re enter canada during your eligibility period. As I didnot leave Canada i was residing in UK before coming here, do I still need to mention the dates. I am confused. Please anyone can help

 

[hangincanada]

Thanks. No, I have not get any request for additional documnets after the test. I have got my ATIP notes. Everything is passed only the security check is pending.

you should be fine then. the worst case 12 months for processing the routine application is their standard. but if additional documents are requested, the 12 month timeframe will not be applicable...

My test (originally due to April 18 on Missisauga) was cancelled the day before due to the flooding, but rescheduled on the day after for May 14.

Admin, not sure whether the spreadsheet should be updated in such a case, but if you believe so:

- ID: chesterbr (line 550)
- Test invite letter/ECAS date: April 18
- Test interview date: May 14

Thank you.

Thanks for the update. I updated the spreadsheet accordingly and added a note. Good luck on your test!

Please allow 15-30 min for the update to show up.
