Preparing for test... Seems harder than I thought, especially the first half of the Discover Canada book......!!!

I read the notes from someone and practicing on the Discover Canada app with paid version (1 week). I am getting 80 -85%. I do silly mistakes in rush most of the times. The only tough thing I am facing is years and names.

There are many paid app providers, which are the best of them?

usually, it takes 2-4 days.

I know right? I asked around, they all said it took them 1week at most. But mine almost 2 week now and not sure what’s wrong

Appeared for the test on Apr 3, test marked as completed today.

Want to share some of my experience in case someone finds it helpful as for me, the test itself took just 10 mins but taking pictures of id/self took double that time.

When you start the test process following the link in the email, there are about 8-9 steps to go through before the test. This includes going through some information, agreeing to few disclaimers etc. On step 5 (iirc) you're sent another link to your email where one needs to first take pictures of id and self which then goes to the actual test. This second link is time sensitive and within 15 mins you need to take pics and reach to the test.
I used my laptop to take the test which is not that old and has the typical hd front camera that most laptops have. Not sure if it was because of lighting or the camera but it was really difficult to take a picture of id with legible info. By the time I took a picture that I was ok with, the link had expired. So if that happens to you too, don't wory just go back to the original link in the email and restart the process, you will get a new link to continue the process. This time I did not spend a lot of time on it, took the best pic that I could and moved on to the actual test.

August 06 applicant here, Oct 29 2021 - AOR, Mar 7 2022 Test req, Mar 14 test completed.
I got a request from CIC to submit a police clearance certificate for India. I already did submit an original police clearance certificate from India with the application, not sure why they're asking for it again!
I have sent a scanned copy of the same document i submitted with myapplication via email. Hopefully that'll do it, or else BLS will take another 2 months to provide a police clearance certificate from India

Also my language skills has been updated to complete, but my physical presence and prohibitions is still in progress.

So, I have read the notes and half of the book so far. I have scored minimum of 80% on the app with questions and same on the apnatoronto website. I found that the notes are good and are very similar to the book. The dates and names are the things to remember. I usually do silly mistakes with 1 -2 questions when rushing through the test. I need to go slow I guess and review at the end.

Background check completed on on December 8 2021.... still no Test invite....not sure what to do and how to reach IRCC

 

[NBFamBam]

Did my test and turned complete in the next business day back in feb, i think in my case its just background checks are still not completed.

Are your languages, prohibitions and physical presence completed?
