Feb 2015 citizenship applicants

[kimba409]

Hi,

I got a status change today -- following has been added to the status:

We sent you a notice on October 2, 2015 to appear and write the citizenship test. The notice you will receive by mail will be your official confirmation of your appointment.

In the eve, I checked the mail and got the test invitation letter for 17th-OCT-2015. Meaning no time for test prep and havent received the book either

I have read comments related to test prep and are really helpful. However, I have question related to kids, my application was for myself and dependent kids. Is there anything related to kids that needs to be done? like do I need to carry them for test/interview?

BTW, m e-case status never showed statue like "transferred to local office ..."

Thanks,
Asif

Hi Asif, you do infact have plenty of time, just make sure to read the book thoroughly! there are also apps you could download on your phone to practice while in bed. i would suggest to download as many as possible. but the book is the ultimate resource. read more than twice would be my advice. its really not very long, and seems even shorter as the pdf version.

as for e-cas, lots of peoples doesnt update. so its not a big deal at all. but do make sure that you have your test date correct.

best of luck!

Hello Asif,
you can order the book on CIC website but I think it is too late. Try to attend a test preparation session at Immigrant Services Centre 7th Ave SW Calgary, if you are from Calgary. search for their upcoming sessions on their website. Read book many times and even the photos etc you never know what comes from which corner. there are youtube videos on citizenship preparation chapter1-10 and these are helpful too. Try to get on to online practice tests which will help you prepare properly.

Thanks for guidance. I have downloaded the PDF and couple of mobile apps to start with. Will be going through the book few times. Will update the forum soon...

thank you for the tips. Have started working for it...

2 weeks is standard. No time? 1 week is plenty. Booklet is not sent. Just download it. There's an audio version as well. Try several online tests as well. But make sure to read every line in the booklet, including rather especially the figure legends... Tests are not for kids. Don't have to any documents related to kids or kids with you.

thanks a lot for the help. have started preparing for the test.
