Is the passport checked for everyone before the citizenship test to
ascertain that the person was not out of Canada for 183 days?
What if the person was away for more than 183 days while he applied
for citizenship?
I need your help

If you do not meet the residency requirements for citizenship, then wait
until you do meet them. While they do not physically check your passport,
they obviously can tell when you are returning to the country from somewhere
else.

They sometimes do physically check passports. Two friends of mine were questioned about their tenure in Canada when they went for the citizenship exam based upon entry/exit stamps (from other countries, not Canada).
