Hi All,

The test requires an ID with my signature on it, such as my PR card. However, my PR card doesn't have a signature on it. Looks like since 2012 signatures have been removed from the PR card.
Wonder has anyone taken online citizenship test with a PR card without signature on it?

PR card is EXPLICITLY listed as an acceptable document. Several applicants have taken their tests successfully with their PR cards.

No need. For test, they just take only random photos hence only webcam should be working.

No news yet but i assume that they would agree for interview since they allow test it self. As Interview is being taken with the officer in front, they would/should allow without hesitation. So candidates should email the office to allow them.

You'd be sending the items marked with an 'X' on page 2 (That is, checked items which is only item 2 in your case) AND photocopies of all the pages of your passport.

They want it for 5 years because they probably want to verify if the information you provided in your physical presence calculator is true. CBSA did not record exits from the country (via an airplane) until June 2020 it is likely that they want to verify if your story about the absences you listed is correct. Also, they might want to confirm if you still continue to meet the Residency Obligations of PR after applying for citizenship.

What you received on page 2 is called a Residency Questionnaire (RQ) and this is the "lite" version. They've only asked to submit one of the documents from that questionnaire.

Make sure you submit the correct documents as soon as possible.

All the best!
