One immigration officer mentioned this issue just a week ago.
If you failed the test, you would receive a "hearing" notice.
You would explain why you failed the test and convince the judge
that you are qualified for the citizenship. This is normally a
severe problem.
if you didn't attend the exam, it is automatically considered to be a F. About the hearing, you really should prepare yourself for that coz if u fail the first time, they will give you a second chance to retake the exam,it's not a big deal, but now you are missing it twice, and u didn't contact with them ahead....you really need to hvae a strong reason for that.
then u need to give proof of income, what u did, at where. another problem associated with it is that if u hvae income in China, and if you didn't report it to revenue canada, they gonna ask you questions about that too.
failing exam is not a big deal, that's why they are giving you a second chance. waht u need to worry is your 2nd exam, if you couldn't attend it, you should atleast let them know ahead that you are in China for some reasons, and not just ignoring the exam.
OK, 斑竹大人,Seems you have some experience about this issue. I did think the second test was a mistake to me and don't believe I failed the first one. That's why I didn't attend the second test.
Anyway, things have arrived this point, do you have any advice for me to pass the hearing? what will the judge most likely ask and How to give an appropriate answer? I don't have any proof of income with me now though and I will study the knowledge about canada before going to the hearing for sure.
Is it OK to check at 200 Catherine for the result of my first test, will this make things mess?
I did call the CIC center for why they ask me for the second test before the test date, but never get answer. This is another reason why I didn't attend the test.
My friend who took the exam last winter is already like 'you can find out the score right away', how come your case is so differ from others, strange enough.
