My test is so easy I got 20/20. It doesn’t ask any names and years . All about history and concepts. Good luck everyone!!

No - if you mean cognito mode, than browser is not storing any data. You are still logged into the test session of ircc

No it’s like a chrome extension to make my background from light to dark. I forgot to turn it off during the test . Hopefully it’s not a big deal.

Is the test proctored? Who is monitoring the test taker?

My Background Verification shows as complete on 2025/02/14!

Background is background check and is done by RCMP and security is prohibitions check which is dine by CSIS. They are 2 different checks. So you're correct.

My background check has completed.

For the ones that passed the test . Does it focus a lot on dates and name of historical figures ?
There like 100 dates about historical events and names (About wars .. etc ) . I doubt that is necessary to become a canadien citizen ...but i wanted to confirm
Should i focus on the dates/names ?

I would suggest to read the book, and it's best to over prepare. I understand that it's hard to remember dates and names. Also, we don't know if they give different tests in random. As for my test, it was mostly True or False focusing on concepts, so reading the book helped me passed it.

Got it , thanks for the reply !

I have just realized I made a big mistake when completing the task. Silly but I was being distracted by my son when the screen was asking me to take a picture of the ID, instead, I took a photo of myself. Obviously this is stupid but it has happened.
Currently, my wife has her test completed and mine shows pending. What should I do?
