Re: Citizenship for over 55s
I don't quite understand your question. 
Are you asking if a person over 55 is not required to take the citizenship test to gain citizenship?

Hi
IMHO on the date of his application he will be 54 so, probably will have to take test.

Re: Citizenship for over 55s
Go on then.. put me out of my misery... is 55 a break point for not having to take the citizenship test?

Only people between the ages of 18 and 54 must take the citizenship test (written or oral, or both). If you are 55 or older, you do not have to take the test, although you will be scheduled to appear at the local office for a review of your original documents (personal identification, immigration documents, etc.) you submitted with your application and your passport or travel documents relevant to the four years preceding your application. You may also be scheduled to appear for an interview with a citizenship judge.
