September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

What is this test interview date on the spreadsheet? Is there an interview as well?

I believe it refers to the actual date when the test was taken by the applicant, as it is different from the date you receive the test invite. Also, it used to be that applicant would do interviews after the test when they were in person, before the Covid era. So maybe that's why they put test/interview date in the sheet. These are templates from previous years and updated with the current year.

Hi all,

I had my fingerprints taken two weeks ago but did get any updates regarding the background check yet. Is that normal to take so long to get it updated? I called RMCP and they said the document was submitted to IRCC just a few days after my appointment with them.

Thank you!

Mine took like 4 weeks to update

1 - Yes they may ask you anything from the Guide, including the footnotes. However, I found the test to be very easy and mostly focused on - Canadian laws, consitution, rights and responsibilities of citizenship, the more modern history, and basic geography. However, I would prepare well so you dont forget dates etc., It took me about a week. I did pay for 2 prep tests online though. Citizenshipsupport.ca was pretty good. Yourlibrary.ca was pretty good. And Canadiancitizenshiptests.ca was okay (many questions were written with grammatical errors but they did cover some nitty gritty details that the others didnt).

2. Pretty easy. I finished it in about 3 mins.

3. Go by the Discover Canada guide. Yes they have outdated info - like the number of electoral districts, population etc., But just keep the updated info in mind, so you can recognize it in the options.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply and the resources! Btw, do they ask about our province's election rules, current government, etc.?

Yes I would memorize the Governor General, PM, federal opposition parties amd their leaders in the house of Commons, your province's premier, lieutenant Governor, opposition parties and leaders, your city's mayor, and your federal and provincial electoral district names.

Everyone is talking about fingerprints. Is this a step in the process? If so when is this?

it is a step but not all get the request. Not sure what basis IRCC sends them out to a selected few.

Hi All,
