It lays out very clearly in the instruction letter that you MUST be in Canada for the test.
Do not gamble with it.
oh ok. For June,2020 applicant it looks like test invite will be sometime in 2022?
It is hard to say. Their test invitation pattern is very random. You may get it anytime within this year or next year.
They can track your IP, and can tell if you are in Canada or not. You could probably use a VPN, but they can cross check CBSA records, and see that you are not in the country.
The question is are you willing to risk taking the test from outside Canada, when the requirement is clearly to take the test from inside?
Well said. There's no point to risk it cause it can potentially jeopardize one's application.
Actually a smart move from IRCC would be to just ask people to be in Canada for the Oath and not the test.
The test is just 20 questions, doesn't require crazy studying and has a very small percentage of failures. Most PRs know Canada more than Canadian Born Citizens.
The Oath is way more important to me. Just my opinion...
I agree with you on that. In my opinion, the test is probably the most trivial part of the citizenship grant process. The Oath on the other hand, is a critical part of the process and the one that finally cements an applicant's commitment to Canada and the last crucial step in the process.
But the current rules do stipulate that the test be taken in Canada, so applicants would be foolish to ignore this directive.
Exactly ! In order to avoid trouble, always respect the laws.
