He is 14 when we submitted our citizenship applications before June, 2017. Couple of weeks ago, both of us receive the notices for citizenship tests. But he is having certain difficulty in understanding some portions of Discover Canada. What should he do if he can not pass the test? Can he skip the test by applying the change of eligible age for language and knowledge requirement? If he can skip, how can he do? Thank you for any helpful response.

An upset father

I have the same situation. Parents didn’t bother to get it for me and I can’t afford to get it now. They should grant it to people like us for a nominal fee.

That’s not true! On after completing your calculations, you get this message (please don’t skip the last phrase!):
“Based on the information your provided, you are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.

Measures regarding recent changes to the citizenship act are expected to come into effect fall/autumn 2017. Changes include shortening the residency day requirement. Once these changes occur, we expect the number of applications for citizenship to increase, which may effect future processing times.

Therefore, if you are eligible to apply for citizenship now, we recommend beginning the process as soon as possible.”

So shall we apply to avoid the anticipated long processing times or wait? This is really confusing!
