Is there any clause in test that some particular questions(example- related to Federal Elections) cannot be wrong
In case they are wrong you still fail the test despite getting 15/20
No restrictions; you just have to answer correctly 15 questions out of 20, regardless which failed.
That kind of test was a while back (for ex I had my test on my first application in 2006 and it was like you mention)

It came in mail. Doesn't show anything on eCas yet.

It's a yellow colored paper. I have seen people on the forum saying they received a PINK invitation letter - not sure if the difference in color is significant.
Thank you for the reply,
My file was transferred to local office 2 days after your file. My office is Scarborough as well. So I expect to receive my invite sometimes this week (Hopefully).

I got my test invite in white and oath invite in pink. Everyone around me in my test date had their invite in white and almost everyone got oath invite after the test except me so I don't believe color of your paper matters much.

It is not different here in Calgary too bro. I wrote to local MP. Davinder Shory on frustrating slow process in Calgary compared to other parts of Canada. Yet now, no response. I guess you should write as well. Otherwise they take things for granted.

I have a test invite in March at Scarborough. I got a blue notice. Anyone have any thoughts on that. Also if you could share your test/interview experience.

Thanks

I know eastern Canada timeline is like 6 months and Alberta is like 2 years that's frustrating. I will surely write to MP and ask him to look into this for everyone.

Hi All, Just took my test today @ Mississauga location- scored 19/20 :).....all together it took around 3 hours to finish all processing including test. I am offered ‘oath ceremony invitation letter’ right after for March 2nd but unfortunately I am unavailable till March 25th and requested to reschedule ceremony date. They said they would mail the new date soon.

Test was simple and most questions are as you see in online tests but if you read book you can easily answer 2 or 3 surprise questions. All you need is 15 corrects.

Hey everyone!
I definitely can't make the Oath tomorrow. I'm still sticking in Montreal.
What should I do? call CIC?

mmmm ok!! how long it takes you to think about this suggestion?
less than a second.. A few members on this forum have experienced POST test RQ because of postponing the oath.. So unless you have a life threatening situation, i'd say go take your oath and may be come on the same day.. It's less than 2 hours flight and less than 300$.

Hi guys, I was just wondering whether you need to stay in the country after you send your application? and for those of you who got the test date, how long before the test date did you get your letter to appear for the test? Is it possible to ask for the test date change if you are not available that day.
Anyone Please!!!!!
