Guys, i see that everyone passes citizenship test with high marks, all 18, 19 or 20 out of 20. It must not be that difficult or everyone on here has a great memory! I read the book everyday, several pages, and do practice questions on an app. Im taking this seriously. Anything other tip?

Also, it is likely that those who pass are more likely to come here and report that they did, AND that those who fail are not going to be posting it here in the same proportion as those who pass. Therefore that is why it seems "everyone passes". I remember reading somewhere that the failure rate is about 30% - so there is still quite a number who fail. In addition, those who claim to have studied very little and still passed could have had some inadvertent advantage than the rest e.g. a History/Political Science major, someone who is follows politics daily etc. I personally know someone who put in 4 hours a day for 2 weeks and passed with 16/20 - he confesses that he did not know too much about politics and his language skills made it a challenge to understand the Discover Canada book.
At the end of the day, make sure you are prepared in your own way.

Nice to know how are you preparing, it's an excellent strategy.

Your preparation suggests that you will get 20/20 and you will finish the test within a few minutes.

Read the question carefully, identify the exact answer and then encircle it.

Good luck.

Hi All, any news of test invites for applicants @ Scarborough location? Haven't seen any activity for a few weeks in the October forum either.

Hi guys, I don’t know if anyone had anything similar, just waiting on the phone with cic and decided to ask here. I checked my application status online and it says that they sent me an invitation for a test in April, but I never got anything. Does anyone know if that happened before?

Hi everyone,

My case processing centre is Sydney.

I sent my application on 27th November, 2018.
AOR - 7 February 2019, where they acknowledged a receipt of my application + study guide.

Haven't heard anything since and nothing is available when I check the status online.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks!
