Online Citizenship tests... What’s next?

Interesting. So how would one enter Canada in such a situation? Without the PR card, and without the Canadian passport.

Once you become a citizen, you can not be a PR anymore. Therefore, you can't keep your PR card with you and it has to be destroyed.
You will have to use your Canadian passport for travel. Once the oath is done and you receive your certificate, you can request urgent processing for the passport. However, you will have to prove that you require it urgently.

You can check but I believe you can use your Canadian citizenship certificate to enter.

You might have to ask somebody to mail it to you in Pakistan.

Yes, you can use your citizenship certificate to enter.

Citizenship certificate will serve the purpose only at the border of entry but airlines will not allow boarding unless you have a valid passport.

You really need a Canadian passport, or you could apply for special authorization to travel to Canada without one. See here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/dual-canadian-citizens-visit-canada.html

Did you have to take the interview after the online test? Can you please advise how many of your physical presence days?

No interview. I got oath confirmation after 5 days of passing my test. I was dot on mark for physical days.

I have noticed that in some cases IRCC is asking for additional documents after passing the test... Does anyone knows what they are asking?

It depends on the officer. No one knows which set of documents would be asked by the officer. But it would be similar/subset of documents like this:

Thanks Varinder1717 for your advice. Did you mean that you get the oath invitation 5 days after the test date? How many days is the oath date after the test date?

I have heard that CIC calls to the citizenship applicants before sending them emails for test invite, is it true ?

Hello, Just need a small clarification.
I did pass the online test and received a call for an interview next week.

What is this all about?
Is there anything that I need to prepare - please suggest.

thank you.

You will have to prepare your travel history and they will verify your entry exit stamps on your passport. Translate it if not in English as well.

It depends on each file and the dates they have for oath. Mine was really quick. I waited 5 days.

This is pretty quick. Have anybody else had the same timelines?
