Congratulations on passing the exam.
I like to know how hard the test was? where did you prepare for the test from besides the Book of course? which online practice websites were the closest to the real test?.

Nothing offensive, but I see that you are asking this same question for so many people. I am sure the answer from everyone would be different. Do you think you will be able to go through all those practice tests (both paid and unpaid), websites, material etc...? This would divert you from proper preparation. My suggestion for you is to read the official material (Discover Canada) and do a few practice test.

Update: passed the test, 19/20.
Interview w officer, she told me she already approved everything for citizenship, wait for oath.
I had more than 50 trips listed in last 5 years, she didn’t do the procedure of checking all the stamps in passport - they pulled everything out from the border documents and everything checked out.
Will wait for oath!
I want to change my name before receiving passport, will do do after getting citizenship certificate.

I have no update in ECAS since: "We started processing your application on November 18, 2019."

Should I call at this point? I'm in Montreal office and see a couple of people have already taken the test.

Any Ottawa application still pending for a test invite? Hope i'm not the only one here. There were a few invites to July Ottawa applicants 3 weeks ago but it has become quiet since then...

Sure!
I don't like my passport name and haven't used it with anyone important to me for the last 10 years.

@robteix
I found out today that CIC will open temporary offices in Quebec city for Citizenship test in March or April 2020. The exact dates remain to be determined. You can find on page 2 of that link:

So most likely, that is when you and my wife will have the citizenship test.
