Did they require that you submit your permanent resident card? If so, was it by mail or other means?

They require you to cut the PR card into two in front of them on the camera.

Did anyone prepare for test by subscribing to citizentest.ca mock tests? Are they good? If not any other recommendations?

The above Mock Tests are really good.

In my opinion, you don't need to do any mock tests. Just read many times the official booklet and underline key info and you will be fine.

I used the app Canadian Citizenship Test 2022. It was helpful to get used to the type of question and thinking, as well as to time myself. My test was quite similar to the mock test, with the exception of a couple true-or-false questions.

I also ordered a hard copy of the guide Discover Canada, to read it and take notes on it.

Four months for the Oath update!! Is it generally they take in every file? No update on the Children file so far, how much time it took on that file?
