Hi Guys, I received my test invite on 6th and my test is on 19-March. Please update.

Also, help me with below queries:-

Q#1: I am family applicant and received test invite for me and my wife.
I know there is no test/interview for kids but no where in the invite it is mentioned about kids and if they will be validating any kids document.
Looks like they are not validating documents for kids... any idea??

Q#2: For the test, I am mainly doing practice test from various sites / links shared in this forum. I am not really reading the book.. is it enough or should I must read the book?

Q#3: Generally the people who gave test recently, how was your interview experience after the test?

practice tests only should be enough . May be 1 or two tricky questions, the rest you should know the answer after your first year in canada just by watching the news . Interview, straight forward ... the officer was doing her due deligeance that the info I wrote in the application as correct that’s all example: Where do you live ... is it in the corner of ... and she was expecting me to complete the sentence and that’s what I did ... where do you work ? Do you have a status in any other country ? ... she asked about originals passports but never looked at them .. she asked for the Ielts original which I didn’t have... but she said I know your English is above average but it’s just a formality and to satisfy the next officer who will take care of your application ..I was also asked how much I am making yearly . ... anyway at the end she thanked me for my clarity .

Good luck

They don't validate any kids documents. Me and my wife gave the test in January. They didn't ask for any kids documents. Not even their passports. But mentioned that my 14 year old should come for the ceremony and my 9 year old need not , if we wish so.

this is ridiculous! scarborough is the slowest, since it deals with half of the GTA area (toronto, scarborough, MK, RH, etc), where the highest immigrant population in Canada resides. They should have opened another office in GTA to deal with the highest volumn

Correction - Mississauga Office is Slowest. Scar is way faster in comparison. Nov applicants have received test invites wherein Mississauga si still dealing Mar
