Hey Forum family!
Just did my citizenship test in Ottawa today.
I'll just review my timeline here. Applied in Dec 2015, the full application got sent back because there was a few months unaccounted for with my passports.(i just didnt renew it before it expired, only renewed after expiration and had to send it through the malaysian high com here) . Anyway, in March 2015 I reapplied, sending them the full application again this time with an explanation for the passport discrepancy.
on March 17th I got an acknowledgement email from CIC -Ottawa. Sometime in Mid April i got an invitation to do the test on the 13th of May(today)
Now, i can't disclose any info from the test itself but I can tell you that if you follow the study guide, you will do just fine. That can be downloaded online as an ebook, or viewed online, and they can even mail it to you, it's super easy. This resource from the public library helps as well.

make sure you have all the documents they ask for, 2 pieces of ID, your landing papers, and old/expired passports and your current one as well.
If you plan on driving, bring some change, the building parking lot was full so i had to use coins to pay at the lot across the street.
hope this helps!
