Wrote my test yesterday. 20/20!

During the interview the officer noticed that I didn't include two of my trips back in 2014 (genuine mistakes) before I became a PR. I couldn't find one of the itineraries so she asked me to sign a form for them to verify my travel record with the U.S. The officer told me it shouldn't be a problem because I had enough days (6-month buffer) to cover those 2 trips (~3 weeks in total). Hopefully I will receive the oath invite soon.

That's great - My application was received on 10 January 2019. I hope I will get a test invite soon.

Can you please help for the test preparation?

I read the Discover Canada study guide a few times, highlighted the key points for each section and also listened to the audio version, but this is my study style so you don't need to copy what I did. You can also do mock citizenship test online to get a sense of the test style. I'd say you will pass the test if you read the study guide even without doing the mock questions . The test was very easy; some of the questions were common sense if you have been in Canada for a few years.

Still haven't heard back. My application was received Jan 11 last year and the processing started Apr 29. Anyone else has heard back from CIC?

Kitchener has to be one of the slowest office.

My citizenship application was received on Jan 3rd 2019 and I have yet to hear back for a test invite?

This is unreal. I wonder what is the reason for this? I haven't seen a lot of people on this forum from KW. Even 1 immigration officer (probably have more) should enough for this area.

Oh wow.. ok I can just stop checking daily now. It's going to take a while for them to get to me.

Maybe more applicants. I think they were some laws changed making it easier to be become a citizen.

Congrats! There might be a delay and the email could be coming anytime soon. Also, feel free to call them and follow up.

Very possible. But people in Toronto getting oath invitation within 6 months of submission is god speed. I doubt KW gets more applications than Toronto. I feel KW office is under staffed.

Is there any one who received the test invite today?
