Updating my status here for others.
Did my test today at Scarborough.

Advices:
1. Please arrive early. Give yourself 30min or more. I saw some people coming late to the exam. On this important date!!!
2. Make sure you ask the officers when to line up for your test. There are several test during the day. Make sure you line up for yours!!! They will call out "This is the line for 10:15am test" (for example)
3. Be calm and polite. If you don't understand ask. If you are too nervous breathe in and out and calm down. Think positive.
4. Bring your yellow paper. PR. OHIP. Driver license and Landing paper. You'll need them for Step 1 & 2 of the day.

Step 1 - Test
You'll be asked 20 questions, and your answers will go on a paper. All the process related to the test is patiently explained by the officers. Reading the guide and doing some online exams will prepare you for the test. In my case I read the guide 3 times. And did a lot of online tests (links provided in previous posts in this same forum)

I passed 20/20. (The results are given to you by the interviewer officer on Step2)

Step 2 - Interview
The officer checked the Landing form, verified my original ids against the photocopies. Went through every single page of my passports to check against the Residence calculator submission while asking random questions about my job.

At the end said all was in order, congratulated me and told me to wait for the Oath date that will arrive on the mail in a few days.



Lots of patience and good luck to all of those waiting.
