[salmaniut]

Hi all,
If I need to change the address after the test, Will they again change the processing office and delayed my application? I am June 2020 applicant and passed the test.

The test isn't that hard. The pattern varies from person to person. I had like 5 True/False questions, at least 1 fill in the blanks type question. Most of the questions were easy, a couple of them were moderately difficult.

Discover Canada is the main resource. Read the entire book at least once.

In addition to that, prepare using the following:

Notes from Discover Canada and Sample tests.

Can anyone advise how long it takes to receive Oath invitation once Decision is made on ECAS?

To avoid disappointment, assume it'll take at least a couple of months to receive an oath notification on the dashboard. Currently, the oath dates being schedule fall in November and December 2021.

My friend told me there were 60 families in the oath ceremony he attended in July 2021 (Mississauga office).
