When did you got the invite and which location

Just 40 minutes ago. Toronto, no idea which office.

Request not to be added to the spreadsheet, just for forum info.

I received test invite today, I have 21 days to complete the test. Those who have successfully completed their test please share your experience. Also, I would like to know if discover Canada guide will be enough for the test preparation?

Thank you

Yes the study guide and all its outdated info is enough.

Well, I did have 7 short trips to my home country and 4 weekend trips to the USA during my eligibility period.

Now I am bit worried.. I lost my old passport and I have some travel history with that passport while I was on my eligibility Period for citizenship.

Discover Canada is enough.

I used the flashcards from this site to study. Remember dates and names well. Do the test on this site and also download few citizenship test apps for practise.

Good morning,

I got the invitation to re-take the citizenship test. Reason mentioned in the invitation is that, "we are unable to accept your test results, could be because of technical issues or required photo identification was not submitted"
i've used Provincial ID card for as photo identification as it has signature and DOB and address.
PR card was not used because it doesn't have signature on it. Only thing is it has DOB and Card expiry date.
Test Invitation document was little confusing.. it clearly says "Photo ID with signature on it" such as PR card. But our PR card will not have signature.
Can any one reply that they took the test with PR card (with out signature)as ID proof and was successful.

Updated. Good luck! Read the book over and over, do some questions from Richmond library and apnatoronto, and other sources, those would be enough.

That's great! Any document requests coming with it? Or just the interview instructions?
