i just finished my online citizenship test and passed it.While reading the instructions for the test i guess i messed up it says “no external sources should be used” including but not limited to internet, notes and copy of the book. So I thought i can use my notesDuring the test i looked into my notes even though they didn’t help me at all. My question is would my test results be “invalid”. Does officer constantly watch you through the camera if we were using notes?

The officer will review your test and let you know if it’s invalid and yes they can see what you were doing during the test because they video record you.

Ohh that’s a bummer. I waited so long I submitted my application in November 2019, and they started working on my application in FEB, 2020. Any idea within how many weeks they would get back to you or when i can call them to confirm my results? My case processing centre is VANCOUVER. Even though i live in ONTARIO :/

No timeline guarantee from CIC (that’s how they are ). You can give them a call in couple weeks to confirm. Hopefully everything would be okay. Good luck to you!

My wife completed the citizenship test today and passed. Before the exam, I was fixing the webcam and had the devices manager opened. During the exam, approximately halfway through it, my wife noticed this other window still open and tried to immediately close it prompting a message saying something like "oops looks like you're opening a new tab.." Has anyone had the same experience where they inadvertently opened a different window? I am hoping IRCC is able to get information like which window was being opened so they are able to tell that there was no intention of cheating.

Incorrect. No video is recorded. Pictures are taken through the webcam at random times during the test.

How the system will monitor you
Our system will use your webcam to take your photo at random times during the test. It will not record any audio or video.

We do this to

  • make sure you complete the test by yourself
  • confirm your identity
  • monitor any unusual activities
To confirm your identity, we’ll compare the

  • photo you took of yourself
  • photos we randomly took while you completed the test
  • photos you submitted in your citizenship application
I have responded to the OPs question here.

When did you apply for your citizenship application? After receiving your AOR how many months for you to wait for them to schedule your online citizenship test? Thanks

was that an issue for you? I just clicked on a pop up to close it for 1 second and got the same message "oops looks like you're opening a new tab ". though passed the test in the end but not sure if they would deem it invalid

hi, I took my test yesterday and have problem with my camera. The computer has 2 cámara one in the front and one in the back. When I start the test I couldn’t see my self beacuse the camera was facing opposite. I tried to fix it but I couldn’t. After 4 minutes couldn’t do nothing. So I sat on front of bid mirror and took the test like that, because I was very nervous my leg keep moving and the cámara sometimes face my leg I was fixing it all the time, but I don’t know if I the test will be invalid after this. My score was 16/20. Please answer

If the test results go through and ID needs to be revalidated by IRCC usually you will get an email from them to provide a clear scan copy of the ID. Usually you can expect such an email in just after few days

The ID where ok. It was the front cámara that didn’t work on the test and I had used a mirror.
