Notes from Discover Canada - Preparation for the Citizenship Test

[forw.jane]

I have received no email for the Test but when I check on the online portal it says to schedule the test. Do I wait for an email or schedule between the dates in the portal.

What is your test schedule?

I just finished the exam. I got to say that the practice tests (especially those from the website citizenshipsupport.ca were WAAAAAAAAAAY harder than necessary and even harder than other practice exams). I liked the library ones and the citizenshipcounts. So good luck to everyone. I am still waiting to hear back if they validated the results.

Just passed the test today. See my other post
"I ended up purchasing the weekly plan from https://www.citizenship-app.ca for $2.99. My opinion is it's worth it especially if you have limited time (say less than 5 days). However, if you plan way ahead and have plenty of time preparing for the test, then you need nothing other than Discover Canada."

Btw for citizenship test prep, I saw someone posted earlier with a website they made -

I would also check out the official Richmond Public Library's test: https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

You can basically do it in 'test' mode where you answer and check the results, or just look at the answers. They have 154 questions in there, basically all the possible questions that can be asked. Fairly easy to memorize, then just do it in 'test' mode a couple times and should be good.

I see we have 150 + questions in each of the province. Do the real test ask fir the Province? its not possible to do all province 150+ questions

For Richmond Library questions, do we do only one province or all of them?

Only focus on the province where you applied from !

Hi There, i have a question
Me and my wife were living in Calgary Alberta (West) to work seasonal when I applied for Citizenship using my Calgary temporary Address but the mailing address is still in Nova Scotia. Then I moved back to Nova Scotia (East) to work permanently. I've heard that the Province matters because question will be based on where I applied for the Citizenship Test. Furthermore, they sent me AOR with email address like "citizenshiptestWEST". Will the questions based in Alberta, or Nova Scotia? I wrote a webform to ask but they have not replied so far. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

@td88 it will take 5 minutes to learn the names of the lieutenant governor, premier, leader of the opposition and their political parties in both provinces. Just do that and relax.
And in all cases, most questions are not linked to your province, and there's a high chance you get none that are that specific anyway...

Anyone who passed the test recently
Are there a lot of question about dates and names? Or more general questions?

Not many and not at all for a few for a couple people around me who easily passed the test in the past month.
Don't stress too much over it, if you read the book and prepare a minimum, there will be 15 gimme questions to pass the test anyway...
