Hello Everyone,

Finally, I have done my Citizenship test, it was quite straight forward and I got 19/20. Done my exam in 5 minutes. My advice to everyone who's test date is set to please read the book at least twice and do as much practice question.

A person who is taking interviews, He took my passports before the test to save some time. He asked all the general question, told me the Citizenship result and ask the original documents. At the end, he gave me the Oath letter of September 20.

Whoever controlling the spreadsheet, please update the oath date.

And Thanks to everyone who help me out in the whole process from PR to Citizenship application.

Good Luck Everyone,
T

As mentioned in my earlier comment, those anxious about the test MUST read the book at least once and then practice the various online sample tests. I found below to be the best resource to practice and fairly spot-on (& in the given order):

1. http://citizenshipcounts.ca/guide (read by topic first)
2. http://citizenshipcounts.ca/flashcards (helps remembering what you read)
3. http://citizenshipcounts.ca/quiz (take timed tests of 20 questions and also extended tests of up to 100 questions. Very helpful.

I hope this helps. Best of luck.

Quick update. Took my test on the 24th in surrey BC. 19/20. The interview was quick too the officer checked the travel documents and asked a few questions.

I tried to mention that there is a slight mistake on the birth place.. It is currently in the ecase as Russia when in fact it is USSR. And if they go by what is current then it should be Azerbaijan. But the officer was not really interested in understanding my request and brushed it off. I guess I will leave it alone. Kinda annoying though.

You did right - not worth wasting your time. People outside USSR do not distinguish among USSR, Russia and currently independent ex-soviet republics. We are all Russians to them. I was also born in ex-USSR and each time the issuer puts whatever they want as my birthplace country among the options you mentioned. I don't even bother because my previous attempts did not give any result.

I even have an acquaintance born in Georgia SSR and when he got his US passport the officer put Georgia, US as his birthplace. He tried to have it corrected but the officers were obviously in the total oblivion with respect to the existence of the other Georgia so he gave up.

Congrats on the test. Don't worry.
