I hope that not only you get your citizenship ceremony soon, but that you will get your citizenship certificate flawlessly. I had to wait around 9 months after my exam for the ceremony While the ceremony itself went well, waiting for the certificate….was another story. So they did say it takes around 2 weeks to get the certificate, but there was some problems In summary: there was confusion with my old location, new location, and the immigration lawyer location. So my original certificate was everywhere except my new location. 5 months and no luck, so the lawyer had a serious chat with immigration, and I got my new certificate a week after that 😅 Funnily enough, my original certificate was discovered 😂 I really have no idea what happened, what went wrong. But I was very nervous cause even though in the system I am definitely a citizen, I couldn’t apply for a Canadian passport without this certificate. And i had no passport at all, and my country of origin they made getting a new passport almost impossible. So I was beyond relieved once it was finally all over 😅 It was a wild journey. But finally I have Canada as my home 🇨🇦❤️
Cool, congrats 19/20 is a very good result :) Good, that in Canada you can get citizenship that fast, in Europe everything together can take more than 10 years . . .
Interesting fact. When Newfoundlanders voted to Join Canada in 1948 it was a close call. 52.3% voted in favor of joining while the rest wanted to remain independant. Part of the deal was supposed to include free ferry service from the island to the rest of Canada as it would be considered a part of the Trans Canada Highway. This promise of course was a lie and we have to pay to get on the ferry and it is quite expensive.
Well you could have joined Canada or the USA. Being independent as Newfoundland by yourselves makes ZERO economic sense. As an American in Canada I assure you it was better to join Canada. Someday both nations may be joined though, if the USA can get their act together on Health Care.
@Keith Palmer have ypu tries getting helathcare in Canada yet? Our system is in a state of crisis in most ofnthe country. Canadians withoney head to the USA for urgent care.
I did 20/20 🎉 now I'm waiting thanks so much for your videos, I saw you since when you applied, your videos are so helpful thanks a lot!. PD you are sooo pretty.
Getting my citizenship through online ceremony was one of the most disappointing events of my life. I was looking forward to this for years and imagined how I was gonna feel. It never crossed my mind that it was gonna happen online…
@@MakeThatChange I watched this yesterday :) I didn’t know about these enhanced ceremonies. I probably won’t qualify to attend because it’s more than 2 years from my ceremony, but I’ll check it out. Thank you.
So now we have 3 chances to do if we failed one we have another 2 then after that they will call a person in for a live hearing and will be asked about what they know about Canada.. At the moment I already failed 2×, now I'm really nervous for my last chance. 😢
Please ..I follow you ...when I apply online, should I open account and then fill out the application online and pay the fee and upload my photo so I need digital photo
In exam, I murmur/speak to myself, or at times read the questions and my answers out, is that prohibited? Oh and also, are we allowed to skip questions and revisit them, or it is mandatory to answer one in order to move on to the next?
Question i know you can say what was in the test But im wondering im studying thru public libraries mock test was it similar questions or where they totally different?? it you want to answer it will be of great help!! thank you Love the content
Questions can be worded differently but they are all based on this study guide www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/discover-canada.html
I am from Ghana West Africa and I have been searching for a job on the Canada job bank website. I have written over 50 job applications but I have received no response. I would like you to help me on how to write Canadian standard job application. Thank you.
Hi Anna, I’m watching your videos, i have a question when the C.I.C check your background how many weeks when you received the text exam for the citizenship?
I’ve been putting it off and making excuses for so long becuase it’s so expensive and I am afraid to fail… I’m not in the best financial place rn but everyone’s been telling me that the sooner is get this over with the better it’ll be.. 😅
Hi Anna, any news to your oath taking? Mind done already my citizenship last month and I passed too. Now I’m waiting any development of my status. Good luck and congrats for any endeavours.
Seeing this video gave me a ptsd flashback when I had to prepare for my Canadian citizenship exam. And this was for several reasons 😅 1. I’m terrible at exams and memorizing. It was a huge struggle at school, so having to do it again was emotionally horrifying for me 😅 2. Despite I applied during Covid and the website said post exam interviews were cancels, I was still worried about that part. I’m shy and very introverted. 3. The website said if you fail twice? You have to speak to someone and do the test once more (and above the fear of speaking for me applies here too). But additionally if you fail the 3rd time? They refuse your application and have to start all over again. And that was a scary thought I found a video that had both the discover Canada booklet and the audio combined together. So I used that over and over. I did the exam, was shaking, first try….I passed 17 out of 20 😁
Hi, I have a question please, can I blur the background ? Do I have to schedule or I just click the link and begin the exam ? does it start immediately once I click the link or it asks first to confirm taking the exam ? and if u please can say more about the what exactly happens when I click the link ? what about taking photos for the IDs ? sorry lot of questions & I'd really appreciate your help
Hi George, all instructions are written in the email you get. It tells you date and time and what to expect once you click the link and what documets to have ready and what devices to use and whether you can have blurred background or not.
You will be given a link to join. You will have to install an app Zoom for the ceremony. As for blurring background, I don’t remember having specific instructions about this. It’s good to ask that during your call.
Hello Me and my wife together apply citizenship after finished exam and I m got my mailbox in ceremony but wife no any update so what the process of together ceremony process?? Let me know. Thanks.
Congratulations! I shared my timeline in my last video in the series here: "How I Became a Canadian Citizen": Ceremony, Timeline, Passport Application th-cam.com/video/S3aQThib5lY/w-d-xo.html

Hi I applied for my Canadian Passport on 16th September and the mailing date was 15th October. But on the tracker it says " We are reviewing your application". So, should I wait for more.... OR should I call passport Canada?? Any opinions??
Maybe it was a notification from another app that was recognized as a new tab. Don't worry, they'll review your test recording and give you decision soon
Use whatever tactics usually work for you, like visual cues, creating associations, looking for patterns, etc. There is plenty of material online to help with memory training. Good luck!
I passed my test 2 montn ago , and instead of get invited for the Citizenship ceremony, like you said, I got Letter invitation for interview … what it’s meant?..,
Read the invitation letter, it should explain what's required from you for an interview. It could be a random selection or perhaps they didn't like something from your test results or how you took it
Any mock test you find online is good enough to test your knowledge and understanding of the official booklet for preparation. I just googled them and took whichever mock test I saw
@@MakeThatChange thanks perhaps you were lucky😀 I found so many but almost every test series has a different complexity level. I've found some series that are extremely tough, some are very easy and some are medium. I'm unsure which of these are based on actual tests' complexity. Thanks for your efforts and congratulations on becoming a New Canadian🙂
@@thewall2711 these citizenship tests are not that easy as people think, its made up of past history,economy,geography,,political structure,laws,military forces, and so much more about the country. i think canadian test would be liitle easier than the american one. since canada is not so old country, although canada had aboriginal people living alot before this land actually became the country called dominion of canada in 1867
