Congrats. How did you prepare for the test

 

[canadalove85]

Thank you very much

To prepare for the Test; I:
1) Read the Study guide in Depth; and
2) Kept practicing the test with random questions using the below link

*Use the below link and do the practice test several times and you will pass the 'official' test with no issues. Also use the practice test to time yourself. 30 minutes sounds long but it goes so fast.

Tip: Do the 'easier' questions first so you can save time on the more 'difficult' questions

Thanks for your response.
Can we go back and forth in the test or we skip a question we can't go back?

Also interviews are routine and they used to do them for almost everyone prior to Covid, as far as I know from people posting on forums talking about citizenship.

Interviews were routine before COVID, yes. But since COVID, IRCC only interviews when something is flagged in a person's file. This could be too much time spent abroad or any inconsistencies in their application or non-compliance with PNP obligation or marriage fraud or any other indication of misrepresentation/ fraud.

In most cases, it is nothing to be worried about, as the applicant has done nothing wrong, and is able to demonstrate it.

You can go back and forth in the test. If you answer the 'easier' questions first you will have a lot of time remaining to evaluate the more 'difficult' questions.

There is not a single update for October online applicants this week so far, last week they updated till Oct 23 while missing early applicants or after Oct 24. I really don’t know at this point what to do

Dude me and a bunch of people did their test this week...
Also, I have 2 other friends of mine who have been waiting for 2-3 years for their citizenship oath! It is difficult, stressful for all of us I understand but relax we are not even reached to the 1 year mark!

It´s not stressful or difficult for ALL of us. In fact, some people in this forum that submitted paper applications in January have already taken the Oath. OP has the right to vent and complain as much as they'd like because there is no respect for online applicants. Besides, it's not a zero-sum game; the fact that there are other people waiting for 2-3 years doesn't mean that the OP doesn't have the right to express their frustration if they feel they're being left behind.

I understand the frustration, all we can do is wait patiently and be optimistic. If PR is expiring, then time to apply for renewal. Don't think we can do much about it.

How long before we can renew our PR card? Is it 6 months or 9 months?
I am 100% applying paper not trusting their Online application anymore

I don't really get it. Why is it stressful or difficult? Honest question....

I get a long indefinite wait to become a PR can absolutely be stressful and difficult. But why the citizenship application?

Refer to:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/who-can-apply.html

It is 9 months before expiry unless the PR card is lost/ stone/ damaged or you change your name/ gender/ citizenship.

There is no online application, only paper.
