Yes, I see people from province other than Ontario are getting their Test Invite update on their tracker.

That’s frustrating! I hope they send the invites soon.

I am anticipating a request for the test shortly. But for the majority of December I will be outside of Canada. If I get a date that does not suit can I reschedule?

Test can be given outside of Canada too.

Test can be given outside of Canada too.

Good to know thanks, I am assuming this is something you can state when accepting the test date? My assumption was that the test was in person based on videos I have seen.

The test email would have the details about the process you have to follow to give the test from outside Canada.
Its an online test with 20 question out of which you have to get atleast 15 right.

Yes It is common if you have traveled outside Canada in the last five year or you have not provided it during PR application you most likely be asked for finger print, my tracker show that finger print required but I haven't got the official letter yet,

This is not the reason. If your name or other information matches someone with a criminal record, they want fingerprints to make sure it's not you.

Has anyone in our October group written their test? How did you do and what advise do you have for us?

I'm too scared to write it because I don't want to fail

My name is super unique and I got a fingerprint request so I don't think it's as simple as your name matching someone else's
