Raj you should work for IRCC, already have so much experience, I bet you would qualify! :)
haha :) . Well, I have considered it (on multiple occasions) not because I have "experience" but I would like to give back to the immigrant community being the "quickest processing officer" there is.

The pay isn't really attractive for any of the positions (Program Assistants, Case Processing Officers). That's the reason I backed out.

With the Citizenship now being able to be done remotely, I haven't seen anything in regards to the oath which I see the need for being done in country.

I am currently in the UK, so now being able to do the test from here is a massive weight off of my mind.

That said, once the oath invite comes (presuming no interview) and I travel back, does anyone know of options in regard to the certificate? The only address I technically have in Canada right now is a suite/mail box at a UPS store.

Hi have you received test invite already? And where can I find this information please? I am also currently out of Canada.
Thank you

As part of the test invite email you get - there is a PDF which indicates what you should if you want to take the test outside of canada or want to reschedule etc,

Did anyone from November received a test invite from Kitchener location yet? Everytime I call IRCC, they always tell me that my application is "test ready" and yet no invite from Kitchener location.

I was just taking a quick glance at the spreadsheet and it seems like Ottawa people have not received invitations to take the test yet, all the same I will start studying for it lol

The people that have taken the test, are you able to give some help on what to focus on? are we focusing on dates? I hate having to remember dates. how hard would you say the test is?

Thank you for any and all responses :)

Just read the book and do practice tests. I did a lots of tests from here.

I had 0 questions with dates. Test was easy, but I think I was overprepared.

I would echo BuzzBuzz's sentiments. Test was easy, but again that depends on your level of preparedness. Read the book (once or twice) and practice tests online.
