Can anyone guid me how to study for a test is there any app and a website that really really helps to pass the test. Can’t remember the whole book!!. Thx

I used this
- Youtube video
- https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/
- and read the book 2-3 times.

I suggest not skipping the captions on the pictures in the book that describe easy to miss details if you are aiming for a high score. e.g Mount Logan is the tallest mountain in Canada, and this was referenced in the last few pages of the book. I got 20/20 in the test after I felt I was comfortable enough to answer most questions

Hey guys, is anyone still waiting for test invite?

Here is my timeline:

Single paper based application (from Vancouver)
This is what it says on ECAS:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on May 25, 2021.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on August 31, 2021.
3. We started processing your application on November 9, 2021.

No update ever since... Everything on the tracker says In progress besides Citizenship test and ceremony as not started.

Hey! Thanks for sharing!

No, there were no issues - technical or otherwise. There was an option to send an email with test results which I did so I have proof of my results and everything. Maybe it's a just a backlog then...

. I did I mail my results to myself also and didn’t have any issues except for a not so great quality photo for my ID . A lot of tests were done recently and got completed. Hoping to see ours move ahead by end of this week . Where about are you? ( processing office ) ?
