Because I have to repeat the test, does that mean my timeline is going to be 3 months again?

 

[RandomUser001]

Please post an update once you receive the oath invitation via email (This will happen about a week before the oath date).

Thank you!

Can you please tell me how you received the notice and instructions for oath? Was it via mail or email?

Test from outside Canada.. Someone posted this on July 2020 forum. Looks like we can take tests from outside Canada now.

I saw this but I wonder if this is going to be the exception rather than the rule - I would love to hear from others if they have had a similar experience. If I thought this was possible I would return to visit family outside Canada after a long 18 months of staying put for Covid.

Interesting, does this apply to interviews too? During the interview, the officer asked me if I was physically present in Canada. Also before you take the online test they ask you to affirm the same.
