April 2021 - Citizenship applications

[Strongfaith42]

quick question - I am an indian citizen by birth, my old passport was expiring in May 2022, I have just renewed my passport and I now have a new passport number,
Do I need to update the details of the new passport in my Citizenship application? How do I do that?

You could if you want, you will need to send through webform.

I just passed the test this morning but it still says test is not completed in my tracker account, should i be worried?

Don't worry, it will take from a day or weeks to get updated to completed, it varies by the local office processing your application.

I am just wondering if anyone of you has a test invite and BG is still in process. Is it okay to have a test invite and BG still in process? or this means that the BG check will take a long time then they decide to send me a test invitation before completing the BG.

This has happened to some applicants, they received the test invite before BG was completed, some received FP request and some BG was set to completed after the test was completed, it all varies by the local office processing your application.

This is a sticky thread in this forum, it has a summary of the book in English and French and a lot of websites to practice sample tests.

Notes from Discover Canada and Sample tests.

There are a lot of resources on Youtube, audiobooks, practice tests, etc.

I did. It ended up that I needed to get fingerprinting done. I ended up taking the test and doing the fingerprinting on the same day. It looks like some offices are requiring a strict order of pass the BG before the test and others are allowing the test to proceed while finishing up BG.
