Test invite: Feb 9, 2022 (Feb13-Mar5)

Test was really easy compared to youtube 414 question. I completed 20 questions in 3 minutes and then check it again and submitted in 6 minutes. I did read the Discover Canada twice word by word. I find listening to people read Discover Canada on the webpage helpful.

The sticky thread in this forum was also good for my preparation.

The most difficult part was taking a photo of my ID...

Hi Guys,

My spouse & I have been preparing for the test for past 1+ week, read the official guide and even practiced all the sample test. In the test, on an average we always score 85%+ but somehow we are still feeling nervous

Can someone who already gave the test confirm if the questions will be more or less same as we have been practicing? We are really really bad in the historic dates & the names of so many "Sir".

Practice mock tests. I did the test when I started scoring 90% and more.
I did my test in 9 min. Only . I prepared for one day only. Read question carefully. And yes same questions as mock tests . Do 20 different mock tests

From seeing these issues people are reporting with taking the photos etc., I'm thinking I might do the photo stuff as soon as I get the invite, then the test later when I'm ready, as it seems you don't necessarily need to do them together.. https://www.cic.gc.ca/English/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1579&top=5

Those test FAQs are pretty good, actually.

Has anyone tried doing the test on a Linux computer..?

From the spreadsheet I noticed some people get the test invite before the fingerprint request and some get it after and some people get it after BG is complete !
What is the usual (most times) sequence?

Mostly it is BG complete and then Test invitebut if your BG is taking time to complete, test invite may come before that. But some processing office don't send Test invite till your BG is complete. So it's not a simple sequence.

Does not explicitly state support for Linux. Risk would be for the software taking ur pic snapshot and analyzing whether you switching the tabs not working behind the scenes. In my opinion not worth taking the risk.

I hope they have not discontinued it and we have to rely only on new tracker going forward.

I checked Scarborough office current timelines for test completed to oath and it’s taking around 35 to 40 days. So, Scarborough guys waiting is atleast one month from test complete.
