August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[pharmjam]

got my test invite. I have finished the book once. Can anyone tell me how helpful Apnatoronto was? those of you who already passed the test.

To be honest, reading the book twice is more than enough. I was so over prepared (YouTube 400+ questions, Apnatoronto, Richmond library, toronto public library etc) and the practice questions were HARDER than the actual test questions. The questions were so easy (if you read and understood the book) but could be tricky if you didn't read (and understand) the book. It wouldn't hurt to go through Apnatoronto once but more emphasis on the book. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. I am really worried about the test. I have read the book once. Also doing some test from apnatoronto. I will study the book two more time as I have time. Wish me luck and Thank you again.

No problem! I also listening (and reading along)to the audio book was helpful for me to retain information. The hardest part of the citizenship test experience is taking picture of your ID and yourself.

Stick to the book

Just took the test and passed (19/20). Read the book at least 3 or 4 times and then go for the tests. You should be fine.

Guys, anyone who applied under urgent processing , kindly share what supporting documents you submitted?

I am thinking of getting a letter from my company in US that I need to frequently travel and work in US. I cannot do so under B1B2 Visa. And try to get my file changed to urgent processing.

My friend did the same thing but they rejected his request.

I found YouTube 414 Questions and ApnaToronto very useful. The questions there are tougher than the actual test, but the practice tests made me revisit the Discover Canada book again and solidify my understanding. Another good point about the YouTube questions is that it would also quote the relevant lines from the original Discover Canada book while showing the correct answer. I watched it in 2x speed.
But it all works only after reading the main book (I found it easier to read the large print version, because the images in the normal pdf version always distracted me )

Ok, so they rejected his request for urgent processing but processed the application as normal? Or did they returned his application altogether?
Do you know if s/he said that it's a client requirements or some security clearance required due to federal clients?

Anyone who did test in March got Decision made on their application?
My test changed to completed on April 8 and no response after that..
Background check was completed on 17th March..

So if i got this right.. all applications are not able to see their progress on the new tracker because its broken ? So for online application who dont even acces the old tracker the only way to know that your application is progressing is by getting emails ??

June online applicant here. Passed test on Feb 11th. No news after that. A lot of online June applicants are in the same boat.

Processing as normal! They didn't consider the letter from his employer.

Processing as normal! They didn't consider the letter from his employer.

FYI. IRCC wouldn't consider non-Canadian job offers as a reason for Urgent Citizenship processing.

thanks. well maybe that will make them finally look at my file lol
yeah, i think you are right. Unless I get the letter to say that I need security clearance to work for a Federal client it will be futile

Is any other August online applicant still waiting for a test invite ???
