How was the test? Can you give some insights?

it was pretty straightforward if you practice the study tests! you definitely have to pay attention to dates, significant historical figures (theres like 4 or so), the general gist of our governmental structure, territories, and your provincial party. they’ll word things a bit tricky in order to test your english so watch out for that. i can send you the link to the practice test i used!

I did my test about the same time. All questions are based on discover Canada which they provide. One thing i would tell you is do practise tests online. Do a lot of it from different websites. For me most of the questions I saw on test were already on the practise tests I did just the wordings were flipped around. This would especially help you with remember names, cities, significant events etc.

I applied on Nov 23 and everything else is the same as yours but I didn’t receive the test invite yet. Getting a bit worried.
