 I received the new booklet my mail this morning.

I quickly read the booklet again and I want to cry Cry.

I want my TEST BEFORE MARCH 1ST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good points Thumbs Up: The booklet is well organised and nice/easy to read

Bad points Thumbs Down: too many details  ---> 13 pages about the history of Canada Dead
                                                      ---> Sport, art section ..... 
                                                      ---> more bla bla bla
      ---> more bla bla bla
                                                      ---> Did I mention more bla bla bla ? LOL   

Conclusion # 1: The old booklet was obviously a joke as well as the test. I like the idea of more detailed one because as new citizens it is important to know Canada. However this new version it is way too much detailed. In the next booklet they will add the color of the Queen Victoria's underwear ! Tongue

Conclusion # 2 : Mr Kenny can now say that he's done something ..... !

Conclusion # 3: The money CIC spent in this new booklet could have been used to hired a lot of CIC agents. 

Conclusion # $: Enjoy your reading Geek

Good luck everyone and Happy new year !

This new booklet has a lot more dates than the previous version. Do you think we should be memorizing every event date in the book?

Just seems so much material and not much online test simulation resources for this new test.

Questions on the following topics must be answered correctly in order to pass the test.

    * The right to vote in elections in Canada;
    * The right to run for elected office in Canada; and
    * Voting procedures and how to register yourself as a voter.


In the test, you will be asked about dates, events, people and concepts presented in the guide. You will be asked questions on the following topics:

    * The rights and responsibilities of a Canadian citizen;
    * Canada’s history, symbols, institutions and values; and
    * Canada’s geography.


Sample questions from NEW guide:
=================================================================
What is the meaning of the Remembrance Day poppy?

   1. To honour our brave firefighters
   2. To celebrate Confederation
   3. To honour prime ministers who have died
   4. To remember the sacrifice of Canadian veterans who have served or fallen in all wars up to the present day*

What are the three parts of Parliament?

   1. The Queen, the Senate and the House of Commons*
   2. The Congress, the Senate and the White House
   3. The federal part, the provincial/territorial part and the municipal part
   4. The Canadian Forces, the Canadian government and the Canadian courts

What does it mean when we say that Canada is a federal state?

   1. That the federal government of Canada governs all aspects of the country
   2. That the federal government takes responsibility for national and international matters, while the provinces are responsible for other matters, such as health and education*
   3. That there are no levels of government other than the federal level
   4. That provinces and municipalities have no legislative powers

More sample questions

    * How are members of Parliament chosen?
    * Name two key documents that recognize our rights and freedoms.
    * After an election, which party forms the government?
    * What is meant by the “equality of women and men”?
    * What is the significance of the discovery of insulin by Sir Frederick Banting and Charles Best?
    * Name three responsibilities of citizenship.
    * Why is the Battle of Vimy Ridge important to Canadians?

Inmigrado,
Well make sure you resign on good terms, so that in case you ever need a letter of reference or etc from employer later on so you can request them later.

By the way when are you expecting your test inmigrado?
