Citizenship Test/ Oath of citizenship, Vancouver, April 2012

[Vangard]

Hi everyone,

I had my citizenship test in Vancouver CIC expo boulevard on April 17th, please tell me when I can expect to receive the citizenship oath invitation?
About the test, it was a little bit complicated, not even close to the tests in Richmond library, Toronto Library and other online resources! Tell me what do you think?

Thanks,
Vangard

Thanks seeuuu for your advise I hope I get the oath invitation soon.

Joanna,

here is my time line:

We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 6, 2011.

We sent you a letter acknowledging receipt of your application(s), on May 6, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

We started processing your application on February 22, 2012.

We sent you a notice on March 15, 2012 to appear and write the citizenship test on April 17, 2012 at 8:01 AM.

Hopefully you’ll receive yours very soon, make sure you read the book as much as you can, the questions are not similar to sample tests available online.

Vangard, could you please post a few questions? Were the questions completely different from the online practice test questions or just the possible answers were different. How many tricky questions did you have? Was it hard?
Thanks.

Hi Erikag,

As I mentioned my focus was only on online sources like Richmond library test or Toronto library … and I didn't spend much time on the book, you will be 100% fine if you read the book. since I was not familiar with book, I don't remember the questions but I can tell you to read the captions of all the photos and remember the names and dates mentioned there.
When you do a lot of online tests, basically you memorize the questions and answers so if they change the question you cannot answer it right away but if you read the book properly you can answer to all the questions regardless of knowing the question or not.

Fingers are crossed for you,
Vangard

Vangard,

that happened to me !!! I had my test on march 28 2012 and I read the book 1 time and then focus on the Richmond library test and I really memorized all the questions there that when I took the test the half of the questions wasn't there!!!!
So I am affraid about the results.... I hope we have passed the test!!!!

Thanks Vangard! I wanted to read the book a couple of times anyway. Now it seems that it is a good idea to read the book a few more times instead of practicing online. I have already started reading it and memorizing the dates/names/facts. Luckily I am already familiar with some of the dates and historic facts.
I hope you will all get the oath invitation letter soon.

Erikag, fingers are corred for you, best of luck.
