    Anyone recently taken Citizenship Test please share experience

    Had my test today. Previous posters are right - questions are confidential and must not be shared. Just go through the study guide several times. Try not to just learn it but as well to understand it. Good luck!

    Hi informatics, Thanks! I did talk to several other test takers, but did not specifically ask them about their application dates, so I can't tell, sorry.

    Just came back from writing my citizenship test today at 8:30 am at the Harry Hays building.

We were approximately...

    Test & Interview

    No wonder we need forums like this one if they ask different things from different people for the same event: everybody gets confused! I was really assuming the test invite would be standard for everyone :-( I am gonna re-read my invitation some more, just to be 1000% sure...

    Cultural Access Pass Program

    I like the idea of the CAP program. I currently have a Canada Parks Discovery Pass. Can anyone confirm if the CAP covers at least the Discovery Pass? I know that the CAP has additional offers but based on reading through the website info, I am not 100% certain if it covers as well free access to...

    Test & Interview

    I don't think this is a requirement to bring photocopies. Just bring the actual passports (actual and expired, if applicable)

    Is proof of employment mandatory document?

    Put yourself in the shoes of the poor gal at CPC Sydney: all they do (not meant negatively) is: a) check your application for completeness (are the necessary forms attached and completed, photos, residency calculator, fee paid) b) create your record in the CIC system c) check if calculation for...

Statistics show that the time from 'in process' to 'test invitation' dropped from roughly 365 days and over for August 2013 applicants (and earlier) to now approximately 320 (in some cases even less) for the...

    Confused about Qualifying for Citizenship

    The referenced website is actually not really clear, especially as they have removed the assessment tool. I suggest to read the instruction guide linked at the bottom of the website. As it states on the website, your only option to get clarity might be that you have to file an application and...

    gregmah, as my test will be one day after yours, I can't really help you with that. I will take all the documents they ask for in the invitation plus some additional supporting evidence regarding my travels (land border crossings without passport stamp) - e.g. credit card statements, travel...

    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    Thanks! Yes, the invitation must have already been waiting in my mailbox while I was writing my first post ;). I did most of my test and interview preparation already, given that there is usually not much time between the invitation and the actual test (in my case: 1 1/2 weeks). Just checked my...
