In order to take the test from outside Canada, you have to contact IRCC with such. They include in the test invite letter how to contact them and what information you should provide

I wouldn't risk trying to reschedule it, who knows people are talking about 6 months. I did take the test from outside of Canada, no issues so far.

what was the timeframe they accepted outside Canada citizenship test ? I mean how many days did it took for them to reply when you sent the request email. I sent mine today once i got the email invited. hoping I get reply in 2-3 days. that way i can prepare and write the exam.

They can take the test and the interview outside Canada. The only thing you must be in Canada for is the oath.

Probably conditions was changed recently, it seems to me when I passed my exam on August 2021, it was necessary to be in Canada.

I believe it was allowed since earlier than August, but they have changed the wordings on the invite recently to explicitly say if you wish to do the test outside Canada instead of if you are outside Canada let us know. It's confusing, but it's IRCC :rolleyes:

Test status was set to Complete exactly 3 months ago and no updates after that. Is this normal? Anyone from Mississauga office received updates recently after completing test?
