Was asking myself the same question :rolleyes: in my opinion anyone who can read and understand French or English can study discover Canada and pass the test regardless of where they did their schooling.
I didn't say people can't study and pass unless they went to school here, just that they probably wouldn't find it as easy as someone who did. My word of caution was just to tell people they should definitely study and not blow it off because everyone claims the test is so easy!

Definitely not true. My wife is Canadian citizen. Born here and definitely does not remember a lot of the dates when it comes to history.
Remembering dates is only one aspect of the test. I'm sure your wife has at least some familiarity with Canadian history even without the dates. Someone without any Canadian background (my partner went to school in India and then the US) may be more or less starting from scratch and there is a lot of material covered in the guide.

Is your PR card considered a travel document? For the passport request, do I need to include that as well as my passport?

Thank you! I am sending them my copy of passport now. Do they send you a confirmation of receipt?
welcome @Roger1985. Nah, they don't send you out anything upon receiving your passport copy. If there's a problem then they will contact you. On my case, after submitting the passport copy, a month later on the tracker. Language Skills, Prohibition and Physical presence activity status set to "Completed" from "In Progress"

How long time takes for next update once you complete your test? And what will be next step? Oath Ceremony or they still required passport scanned copy?

After the test getting marked as complete, does anyone know whether the status tracker or ECAS tracker gets updated first?

The processing time for applications has been updated from 12 months to 27 months
We kind of know that .....dont we....and the time they mention is irrelevant, considering they have processed applicants from 2021...as wekll
