I signed in to the online test, but the page shows a “You can’t take the test right now” message. What should I do?

You may see this message if you signed in either

• before you got your test invitation or
• outside your 30-day period of test access

You can’t sign in before you get the test invitation. The invitation will explain that you have a 30-day period to access the test and include the start and end dates of your access.

You also can’t sign in outside this period or after you submit the test.

If you’re within the correct 30-day period and still see the message, make sure you entered the correct information, including

• application number
• unique client identifier (UCI)

You’ll find the application number and UCI in your test invitation.

If you still have issues signing in, contact IRCC.CitOnlineTest-TestenligneCit.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. In your email, include

• a detailed explanation of the issue
• your application number
• your unique client identifier (UCI)
