I failed my test. Got only 14/20. But the status on the tracker has been set to completed. Does this mean they passed me?

Citizenship test status has been updated to completed.

There was another person said the same. So no idea about it. May be, may be not.
Possibly the system doesnt have status like pass or fail, instead they just have Completed status in online tracker.
Apply for gcms to find out the actual status if knowledge is marked as passed. https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en

More than likely because the term “ fail “
Implies a negative connotation. And the Government just has completed because it doesn’t imply a negative or a positive.

It’s like in track & field in school these days versus years ago . Years ago we had the winners and the kids that were let’s say not athletically inclined , the “ loosers”. These days everyone is a “ winner”, no matter how athletically challenged one may be

IRCC will not let one know whether he passed or not just after test? Need to apply for GCMS to know it? Strange. I thought one will know immediately after the test is done.

Sorry about that. If you didn't get at least 15/20, the test status might go to "Completed" but a re-test is imminent. I vaguely recall seeing at least one such case where the applicant failed the test and the status was set to "Completed" and then a re-test was requested.

If you receive a re-test (which I am almost certain you will), it will be over MS teams with an IRCC official present. The official will show you a PowerPoint slide and you will have to answer the questions orally.

Wish you all the very best for your next attempt.

Good luck!

May be they dont want people to panic and withdraw the application to refund the fees;)

When you mean orally, does that still imply multiple choice option after reading the power point slide? Just a,b, c and d..you have to mention?

or for example answer like this : the constitution was amended in 1982…no multiple choice options anymore

thanks

In other words the answer will no longer be selectable/viewable and you need to answer verbally with the question that was shown to you?

Yes of course with multiple choices or else failed candidates will never pass. Same as online one except the questions and answer choices are from the officers screen from which you tell the answer choice for each question

I know someone who failed a test and then he had a re test similar. If he/she fails even re test then they will be presented in front of lawyer. That's wat this person was having a discussion with me

Hi Szaib002, I am currently on the same situation. got 14/20 due to the system issue , i had only 9 minutes left to finish the test when I reconnected. I am also seeing the status "Completed" . Just Curious to know if you got the re-test invite and how soon you get it after the first test.

@SVK21 and @szaib002
Good Evening,
Was the re-test rescheduled yet and if so, was it multiple choice in the oral format or from a screen like the initial test?
Regards

I'm in same situation. Could you please let me know you got 2nd test interview or you passed 1st time? It would be really helpful if you share your experience.

Hi, I'm also in same situation. Did you get re-test invitation or you passed already. What is the current status for you. Please share your experience.
