This is incredibly helpful to read - and thank you for your analysis. I am an Ottawa applicant (May 2020) and have heard nothing about the test. My aground check is complete (as of the transition to the new applicant checking tool as of April 23). Its hard to watch applicants progress all around me from different places and dates. I have written to my MP as of today - he will make an enquiry for me as to my application status. I doubt it will make any difference to the timeline but at least I feel I am doing something proactive. For personal reason getting this process behind me is very important. Lots of good thoughts to other Ottawa (and all) applicants onboard the waiting train. Hopefully one by one we will make it to the platform!!!

Hello there,
Could anyone please share the test experience:1. Any materials you have used other than Discover material, how long do we need to prepare for test and was it all direct questions and multiple choices they ask in the test.
Please let me know, much appreciated!

Congratulations. Was your file urgent? It took about one year, which very good given the current backlog.
Discover Canada is the main resource. Read the entire book at least once.
In addition to that, prepare using the following:
Notes from Discover Canada and Sample tests.
Questions could be in the form of multiple choice, true or false and fill in the blanks.
"How long to prepare" is a very subjective question. That depends on the individual, its not like they going to count credit hours for this. Take as long as you need to get comfortable but complete the test within the test window.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and providing all the materials. Truly Appreciate it
Guys: my wife took the Citizenship test on July 22, and got validated yesterday, July 26.
I took the test on July 19, and has still not been validated by IRCC. How is this possible ? Should I be worried ?

No. For some people, it takes a while (I don't know why though). There is a September 2020 applicant @rajneeshv whose test results took more than 3 weeks to be validated.
Jesus! You never know with this people from IRCC. Thanks @rajkamalmohanram !
I had a similar situation. I replied to the email inviting me for the test, and they responded and updated my results.
I completed my exam on June 20th, it's still not validated lol. But for me, except Exam and Oath, everything else is Completed
Could you please explain this a bit? I called IRCC and the agent told me that the officer has put some note saying I have completed the exam but nothing else
