Happy Friday!!! Hopefully good news will come. My good news is that im going to pick up my passport later, finished with my exam, passport canada didnt ask me to pay urgent fee's which is 100$ more and my flight is this weekend. Everything, the timing was like drawn in the stars. Hopefully there will be lots of good news when I check again with you guys next month! Happy halloween! Dont despair, things really do happen for a certain reason ;D Cheers
Just had my exam and interview several days ago.
The exam is not hard. If you spent some time on various online tests and read the book, you will be fine.
The interview was also rather straightforward... Highly recommend ordering the CBSA records and verifying that everything matches: 1)CBSA records with 2) the stamps in your passport with 3) your online calculator data. If you understand all this information, you will be able to answer all the questions and also provide proofs that will support your claims.
CBSA records are very easy to request, but they take 1 month to prepare them, so do it in advance.
Good luck to everyone!

My letter just took exactly a week to get to me and I live in the Okanagan, so it should have only taken a few days to receive but didn't. Just wanted to state this so others know it can take longer to get it..but it was the best piece of mail I've ever gotten
. Letter sent 23rd, ecas updated on 27th, and mail on 30th.
I read "Discover Canada" several times and then practiced using several websites - most are free, but there are also paid options:aamer43 said:
"Citizenshipnow" (free, but requires registration via online chat)
Richmond Public Library online citizenship test (free and no registration)
"Citizenshipsupport" (paid - $30 per year)
Most questions in the real test are more common sense than data-driven. Of course, you do have to know some dates and some events, but only the major ones. Practice until you get about 90% on online tests and you will definitely be OK on the real test.

I did a lot of the online tests (every day I did one for a few months straight) and reading/highlighting the book. What also helped me a lot was making flash cards (and using a digital app that does the same to ipad) and used both methods of answering the question, and then flipping over and having the answer and then answering that with why it was important (basically what the question should be.)
