You need to include a cover letter stating that the passport bio doesn't cover all the 6 years coz your passport expired and you didn't have a passport or that you have just begun the renewal process and the reason why you let it expire on you. That you never intended to leave Canada, didn't...

Post test fingerprint? If it's a request coz the name or DOB matches some criminal database, it should be straightforward... not much of a delay. There were some here ,ScubaC, I think who got the fingerprint request before test and the test invite in 3 weeks, I guess... But post test request...

Good to have read the booklet back to back a minimum of 2-3 times and take a bunch of practice tests to reinforce the most common dates. It's not quite the dates that would stump you rather it's the info under figure legends... but if you have read the book just before your test, it's always...

@ hgn and other recent Ottawa test takers... Could you pl tell me what how do tests go? So first test, then the interview? It used to be the other way around and it would take them a while to get the results back. Looks like these days the score is revealed right away followed by document...
