Bonjour tout le monde, une nouvelle mise à jour est apparue sur l’outil de suivi aujourd’hui. Il semblerait que mon examen pour la citoyenneté se tiendra entre 8 février et 9 mars 2024.
Hello, I have a new update on the tracker today. My citizenship exam has been scheduled for between 8 February and 9 March 2024.

Bonjour tout le monde, j'ai reçu aujourd'hui une demande d'empreintes digitales. Voici ma chronologie complète:
Hello everyone, I have received a fingerprint request today. Here is my timeline:

Physical Presence Days: 1096
Application: Single
Application sent: 2023/12/12
Delivered: 2023/12/13
AOR: 2024/01/03
Ghost Update: 2024/01/20 (c'était parce qu'on m'a demandé de leur fournir un certificat de police que je leur ai envoyé le 18 janvier. This is because they asked me to submit a police certificate.)

L’outil de suivi indique toujours que toutes les parties de ma demande à part celle de « Examen pour la citoyenneté » et celle de « Cérémonie de citoyenneté » sont encore en cours de traitement. Il est possible qu’il y ait un décalage en ce qui concerne les mises à jour ? J’en suis pas certain. ‍
All sections other than citizenship test and citizenship ceremony show “in progress” on the tracker.

J’habite à Vancouver et c’est bien le bureau de Vancouver qui traite ma demande.
My processing office is Vancouver.

What are the best resources for test prep?

What are the best resources for test prep?

For me, the only study material you need is the official guide, i.e., Discover Canada, available via web, PDF or EPUB downloads, and audiobooks:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/discover-canada/download.html

You can peruse through the whole thing in below 3 hours. Shorter if you are just skimming through it.

Then, just complete a few dozen online practice tests available. One I find useful is here: https://www.citizenshipcounts.ca/quiz

for me it took 1 week as I had to reappear in the test as I had issues with my webcam

Good morning, the requirement for the citizenship to present taxes in the last 3 years, has to have a minimum of hours? I need to have full time job in those 3 years? or part time is fine?

You don’t need to have a job at all.

Just took my test. Scored 20/20. The exam was easy but questions were somewhat tricky. In my opinion, the sample tests online are more difficult than the actual test but necessary to help remember what you read in the study guide.

Where did you study sample questions from? Can you please send a link from here? Thanks.
