Get ready for test

[mikeathome]

I found an online test site I would like to share with you:
http://www.v-soul.com/onlinetest/
Free test.

P.S.
I score 100% in 9% of the time available in the 100 question test Ontario, repeatedly.
Well I better do since my test date is Mar 1 .
Btw. If I receive a RQ before or after the test I will abandon my application on the spot and later write a letter to Harper and Kenney to let them know. Not that this would change anything but at least they know. I am not naiv, I don't thing they would care. I cannot renew my permission to retain German Citizenship 2 more times.

1. Good luck with the test.

2. Its your right to withdraw the application.

3. Your letter may very well make you feel better but IMHO won't make a difference to the policitians. There is an RQ tweet by user with handle Mary Chad to the CIC Minister on this. An applicant needs to win a Mandamus case against CIC for RQ delays or for there to be some gainful political capital e.g. the spouse of a senior ruling party minister gets RQd they complain to the press and enough citizens notice this and start a 'this is unfair' movement......most voting Canadians are not in the 'yeah let's speed up their applications mindset'...they are with CIC i.e. 'yeah let's check em to make sure they are legit' we don't care how long it takes they are here already right!!!

what is the time for RQ Montral?

What is the waiting time for RQ in Montreal? I received RQ after the exam.

 

[Canadian2007]

did you say a spouse of a senior ruling party member got RQd? What is this supposed to mean?

Avg. RQ processing >2years, upto 4years, Montreal rather to the full extend as there only very few processing centers in Quebec. I am not from Quebec I am from Ontario.
I think Msafiri meant that we won't see a change in process -issuing RQs to 'suspects' or for QA randomly' unless the practice gets noticed by a broader audience and support from people with some leverage in the government. This could be e.g. a MP being confronted by this practice through the fact that his/her spouse gets a RQ.

I think this is rather hypothetical, same like thinking that anybody in the Canadian society really cares or if you think that you have the slightest chance to fight the practice in court. The laws support the practice so does the broader Canadian society. I 100% agree to what Msafiri stated above: ...most voting Canadians rather expect that we are checked thoroughly no matter how long it takes. And if a few people fall through the cracks, who cares. Like said before: you're not welcome.
If a MPs spouse gets a RQ he'll pick-up the phone and it is resolved in case that he or she even ever had to file a Citizenship application. The whole thing is so non-transparent...

Couldn't have said it better mikeathome. It's ironic that the immigrant/ ethnic vote got the ruling party the majority they needed (by wiping out the Liberals in Ontario) and appear most affected by CIC changes such as the 'temporary' freeze on the Parents class and returned FSW applications scandal. AFAIK there isn't a lawyer out there willing to touch a class action on RQs - that tells you something!

Just everybody in this forum remember who made your live complicated when you get citizenship. Payback time. ~300,000 citizenship applications if I remember right, correct me if I am wrong. Recalling from the citizenship test questions ~33mio Canadians, ~24.5mio voters, voters turnout ~60% -> ~15mio votes, so yes we can make a difference...

One more thing: look at the relationship 33/24.5, you see how old the society really is. If I would be in charge I would be happy about families with kids coming to the country.

Ottawa CIC usually sends test invitation earlier than other CIC offices for some reason, may be it covers wide geographical area and in my case, my invitation was sent on Dec 11 for Jan 14th test.

One of my friend got it with an interval of five weeks!

Same me got my invitation on December 13 for test January 15.

Here's another link for a free test:
Richmond Library in Toronto. The test consists of different questions than the standard set you find everywhere else. Is is excellent to learn Canadian history.

A friendly suggestion to you: Don't rely only on the online simulation questions.

Read the book couple of times and then you supplement with the online practice questions.

When I took the test, there are couple of them, which I haven't come across in the online test!
