I have received the following information from CIC with the online citizenship test link:
You have been scheduled to take the citizenship test online between September 17, 2021, and October 7, 2021. Contact the office that sent the invitation if you:
1. can’t or don’t want to do the test online.
2. need to reschedule.
3. have any questions.

My questions are:
1. Is the test conducted at home or do we have to select a test center and be present there physically?
2. How many times can we reschedule the test? Is there a specific time frame in which we have to give the test?
3. 1. I found this link on the CIC website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-test/online.html). I am not in Canada at the moment. Should I inform CIC about this?
4. I saw the timeline for my test "online citizenship test" on the application link sent to me by CIC on my account page, but I haven’t received any official email. How many days does it take for CIC to send an email? Do I schedule my test and then wait for an email from CIC?


Thanks,
Nitin Agarwal

Thank you for the link, Vijay.
My account page shows me the timeline between 17th September and October 7th. Also, I can see a link "online citizenship test" on the same page.
Should I schedule my test using the link and then wait for an email from CIC? or should I first wait for an email from CIC and let them know that I am outside Canada and then let them take care of the rest?
Also, as per the link above CIC says that "If you get your invitation and plan to take the test while you’re outside Canada, send an email to the address in the Eligibility section of your invitation". Where can I find this email address on which I can respond?
Thanks, Nitin

There is no scheduling. You can take the test anytime/any day within the test window.

You'll find the email in the PDF that comes with your test invite email. Usually, this is same as the email ID from which you received the test invite email.
