QUESTION ON TEST - Is the DISCOVER CANADA GUIDE LATEST ?

I downloaded Discover Canada guide and some questions are outdated.

Example:
1. In guide it says we have 304 Electoral Districts but today we have 338
2. It is based on Queen time but we have King Charles III as head of state
3. also population numbers are different

Is there any latest Discover Canada guide ?
If they ask questions on population, will the answers be from old canada guide ?

The guide is not updated in real time, which leads to discrepancies. Follow the guide.
In my opinion, they don’t ask questions that reflect the changes in the current context.

Did you receive the invite? Mine shows a GU as of Feb 11 but no update today … how long it usually takes for a GU update to be a real update…

My Feb 8 GU resulted in the Feb 10 test tracker update. So I say you'll see something in a few days on the tracker.

I received the test invite in email, however tracker is not updated, the test window is from Feb 14 to March 16.
Congrats! This has happened to some people. the tracker will get updated in a few days. The email is the official invitation anyway.

It seems like there are few offices involved in the whole citizenship process. Test from Niagara office and the rest from Vancouver office.
Hi, but my location is in Ontario. not far from Niagara Falls. Is my file sent to Vancouver because something is weird?

Not sure about if something wrong with your Application but I applied from PEI and my test came from Montreal and then my file got transferred to Vancouver for LPP and just received an interview invitation from IRCC. So, if your file is in Vancouver then you might either receive a finger print request or interview request. That’s what I have observed so far from different citizenship application threads.
when I called on Monday, IRCC did tell me that my security & background check are in the process of Vancouver office. but l also noticed some files are transferred to Vancouver due to backlogs in other offices. why IRCC has fingerprint request? is this normal?
