January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Amrit02]

Hi guys,
I’ve a question for someone who recently did their citizenship test online. I did mine a few hours ago, and I only photographed the front of my photo ID. I think they never asked me for the back but my friend is telling me I might have forgotten to click the back. My question is did you guys photograph the front and back? Or just the front? Thank you.

As far as the instructions say, you only need the front of your ID.

Hi, I would say 70% of the questions were really straightforward. If you read the guide once and do some practice tests, you’ll be fine.

Straightforward questions. 2-3 questions will require you to read them carefully twice and think before choosing an answer cause maybe 1 missing word can give a different answer.

The online questions were really helpful in the preparation. Easy to get 15/20 imo

Why are you waiting that long Alex ? Is there an issue with your application ?

 

[RandomUser514]

Can't tell you since I can't get a hold of anyone at IRCC. But I've been in Canada for 7 years, my wife was born in Canada, and I have a child that was born here.

Did you try to call them at 8am sharp ?

 

[RandomUser514]

Everyday. I also made an ATIP request to IRCC and CBSA for my file notes. They haven't provided anything. I also filed several webform, never got anything back. It's a blackhole over there, and I'm not the only one in this situation.

Sorry about that bro. It's really frustrating. Hang in there.

 

[sumitbajaj07]

Wow!! You should call IRCC immediately and ask for an update. A delay like yours is crazy!!!! Damn people, please put things in perspective. Some people here have been waiting since January 2022 for an update and in some cases even longer. And you are concerned because you received your AOR on February 28, 2023 and haven't received an update yet? Get a grip and wait in line like everyone else.

Just to let you know, lot of people applied in January 2023 already got written test step done

I am out of country and quite busy at a business conference. Would this create a problem while taking the test? Is there anything I should do about this? Can anyone share a place for me to study to the test? How long does the test take? Do people look at stuff or cheat while doing the test?

Lol. You are being recorded the entire time and will get a warning if other tabs are open. Your test is invalid when they review the video and determine you tried to cheat in any way. More importantly, it'll take you less time to prep than figure out how to cheat without delaying your process unnecessarily. The test is really not that hard--if you prep. I suggest you take the time to read/listen to discover Canada and practice qs (apnatoronto, Toronto library, Richmond library etc). You have 30 mins, but don't need the full time if well prepped. You are given a 21 day window to take it any day or time during that duration OR you can email them if there's a valid reason you can't take it and they'll re-schedule for a later time. While you can take it from outside Canada, you do need to let them know in advance and wait on instructions.
