MYTH: You need perfect English
FACT: Functional English is sufficient. Officer assesses comprehension, not perfection. Slight accent, grammar mistakes: fine.
MYTH: Officers are trying to trick you
FACT: Most officers hope you pass. Process is verification, not entrapment.
MYTH: You must memorize everything
FACT: Understanding matters more. If you understand why Pierre Trudeau was PM, you don't need to memorize exact dates.
MYTH: Failing means permanent rejection
FACT: Retests are automatic. Most people pass on second try.
