Guys,

I am still waiting for my test date, so do I need to inform CIC if I am traveling? Where do I find more information on CIC website?

Thanks
Call them and block the time that you will be out of the country so they won't book the test on those days

Please update samurai1 for October 2017 tab to:
Letter for Oath Ceremony received today on April 12, 2018
Oath Ceremony Scheduled for May 11, 2018

Strange enough I have not received the official hard-copy of the invitation letter and only just the pdf attached version via email. Is this normal for some?

Almost there. Thank you
Updated. Congrats!!

I literally did a Google search at work and clicked on the best looking ones. I think there are some public libraries that seem reputable. I only found the practice tests helpful for trivia: national sports, historical figures, landmarks.
forgive me if I am asking too much from you. but, if possible can you check the below links and tell me if the questions look similar and at a similar difficulty level?

Quick question: Assume family applicants are interviewed together, who is/are answering the questions? Both of the couples, or one of them is good enough?

Both of you will need to speak at some point or another. One of the purposes of the interview is to gauge your grasp of the English or French languages.

Right before the test, they instructed us to speak constructing long and clear sentences, and refrain from answering with a simple "Yes" or "No".
