Any tips to prepare for citizenship test friends?

Read the booklet properly and there are lots of practice tests on youtube as well

Quick question, for those that have taken the test, do you receive an email after the test containing your score, or its only the score seen after taking the test? Are we suppose to get an email after the test?

When you finish the test on the bottom of the page it has option to save your result as PDF or you can click the Email button that will send the unofficial test result to your registered email address

Hi All,


Citizenship Application (Online)
Location: Toronto ON
Physical Presence: 1095
Application: Single
Application Sent: July 21th, 2023

AOR: N/A
In Process: N/A
GU: N/A
Background Complete:N/A

I see that most of the people are getting their AORs within 30 days, but still no update for me.
I can see that it seems that the processing time for online applications is shorter in 2023. is that true?

Hi everyone, a quick question:
How long do you usually wait from the time you receive a GU "ghost update" to when you actually see a status update on the tracker?

I got a GU 2 days ago but I don't see a change in status.

A GU only indicates an officer looked up your file. It is not guaranteed to cause a change in status. Most times it does but this is not always true. If you don't see an update in status yet, it means the process the officer worked on is in the background and not mean to cause a change in status.

As an example, me and my wife had a GU the same time. Her BG was completed the next day but mine is still in progress. So the GU was to start additional checks in the background for me.

Official application times have come down from 23 months or so to about 18. Many people have their applications completed within 6 months in 2023 which is good.
Can you call them and ask about AOR since you are at the bare minimum number of days.

Finger print requests are generally received via email or post mail? If email, what ID is it typically ?

I got them from email (mine was an online application) from IRCC.DNVancouverCitizenship-CitoyenneteVancouverRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
Others on the forum have advised only Vancouver office handles fingerprint requests. So this is probably the right email ID.
