I did my test yesterday (May 5th). I scored 19 out of 20. I studied for less than two days. I read the "Discover Canada" book once and did a number of practice questions online. Most of them have been shared on this forum already. Dalma11 also shared some of them on page 54 of this thread. I wish everyone the best.

We are legally not allowed to share the exact questions that are asked - we agree to that when doing the test.
Some of them were "true or false" and some were multiple choice on my test.
If you do the Richmond library practice test and the Apna practice test then those will give you an idea of the kind of questions that could be asked although not exact.

Very true. I also found this one very helpful among all the practice questions I did. Also, It is good to read the "Discover Canada" book as that is the official study guide for the test.

Wow! That is strange. I did not encounter that issue. I applied via the paper route. You can try to recheck all the details you entered. If it is still not working, then I believe you can also update using the web form.

The paper route makes sense. I read online that applicants are not able to change things via forms or even check application progress. they've to go through the webform.

Possibly that is the reason. I just checked now and the link still works for me.

Is everyone that applies for citizenship requested to do fingerprints? I see that most people's fingerprints are requested and background check completed prior to getting sent their test invitation.
I have not been requested for FP and background check isn't done yet I completed the test.

No, Interviews and/or fingerprints are not required for everyone. Each application has its own treatment policy based on what IRCC think is right. Sometime the applicant may have a full name shared by many individuals inside the country so that's why I think IRCC ask for FP. Of course there are many reasons that we don't know. Sometime it's just random or for quality process purposes.

If you passed the test and the results were invalidated and they sais this is due to tech issue, (disconnection issue) but, in fact , you didn't face any disconnections and your internet was good, your camera was on , everything was perfect. In this case , would you discuss the situation with them and explain that they are wrong and ask them to give you more details like which type of disconnection they saw that made them to invalidate your test.
Do you know anyone who had discussion like that ?

They'll likely have you do the test again I believe on MS teams? I am not sure you can dispute it.
