I am a Calgary paper applicant and I submitted my fingerprints on March 2, so a month ago but still didn’t get any updates. I called IRCC and they said they haven’t received anything. What do I do now? Anyone else in the same boat? How long does it take?

The reason why I'm asking is that there are things in the Discover Canada booklet that are not up to date, for example the population of Canada. But if you get this in the test, you have to go with what is given in the book.
There are pages 34-35 which you should fill by yourself. I haven't got any of this questions in my exam, but all mock tests had a question like "Who is the leader of official opposition".

Hello all, Like last time I mentioned, that the iRCC has asked us to submit the colored pages of the passports again. This time they have asked us to even translate the stamps which are not in English/ French to get translated by authorised license agent as approved by IRCC. I have travelled in past 5 yrs to places were the stamps are in Arabic so I need to get translated.
Had anyone gone through this experience and if so, which translating agency did anyone use their services for ? Please share your experience if any, it would really help. Thank you!

Thanks! With questions like the new conservative leader, do you have to give the name of the newest one? Do we get questions like this in the test?

Hi
They advice you to read and study only the book because they will question only from it! I advice you to follow the guidance they provided!
In the book ans invitation they source the options you have!
I just followed what they said!

Did you even read the book? The book does not contain the names of recent or current politicians; you will not see Justin Trudeau or Steven Harper, or the name of the party in the government, so it can’t be outdated! Page 34 asks you the name of the prime minister, Governor General, etc. that you have to figure out and write in yourself, that may also be asked on the test without being outdated. This is not a school exam, they will not ask trick questions such as the population of Canada with two answers being 34 and 38 million.

Do we need to have an external webcam connected to our computer or can we just use the camera that’s already in it?

My built-in laptop camera worked fine on windows 10 chrome.
