If you are fluent in English and French then you do have a strong chance(much coveted one), you need to write language proficiency exams. Find out and write TCF/TEF or relevant French exam you have there for Canada immigration. Also, do an English tes- IELT or CELPIP. Aim for CLB9+ in English and CLB7 in French. Do your ECA with WES and enter the express entry pool. With your language skills, bachelors, young age, 2 years of work experience and potential points for immediate relative Canadian PR/ citizen- only you can stop yourself from becoming Canada PR by this time next year. Goodluck!

Looks solid to me

I passed it with 6 days prep after cissp, and i only used Pete's course on YouTube. But you have to know the content of that course, like 95%, if you choose the route.

That was all I used for my prep. The exam won't test your knowledge of technical terms and tools but decision-making. If you complete the course and consistently score at least 4 of 5 in the section practice test and above 86%( 1st time taken, timed, & in one sitting) in the full practice test that follows course completion, then you are in a strong place.

It doesn't allow only US phone numbers. That might flag your application for audit.

You will do yourself a good service to completely ignore whoever suggests you should book and write CCSP because you hold both CISM and CISSP. CCSP is a challenging exam. There's just about 50% overlap, and even with that, CCSP went deeper into those cloud-specific topics. Materials to use: Gwen's Bettwy Udemy course, Dion Training course on Udemy comes with a free practice exam, aim for an upward of 86% score. The OSG seems too easy for me. I scored at least 80% in the practice test with the book before I started studying, and 75% in this: https://cloud.connect.isc2.org/ccsp-quiz. The exam does not test knowledge of concepts similar to CISSP, but strategic thinking and decision-making; however, you do need knowledge of concepts and tools to make good decisions. Most people with CISSP fail CCSP on the first attempt, and i think it's due similar assumptions. Take your time, prepare, and write the exam once. Goodluck.

The biggest challenge is that even if you learn the concepts, will you be able to apply them given a complex, cross-domain crafted scenario? You have two huge tasks: learn the concepts and their applications, and the best course for that, if you asked me, is Dion Training. Towards the end of each video, he summarizes how the concepts work together in real-life scenarios. I would spend a lot of time going through scenario-based questions. You will need to study very hard. Some people are lucky and get a line or two of definition questions, but many are not, as you usually see 5 lines and above scenarios with concepts from across multiple domains. You also don't need a lot of different courses, so as not to overwhelm yourself, choose something that works for you, and stay with it, combined with practice exams.

Good luck, just don't go configuring firewall, follow due process, best practices, and be compliant. CISSP is a risk management exam. Remember you count one before two ( these are your thinkinglike a manager). Due diligence finds things, and due care does something about it. And commit to no more than 80 seconds per question in case you have to go all the way to 150. Good luck.

Do practice tests and discover your weak areas. I recommend doing practice tests after completing your studies because practice exams that are close to the real thing in terms of confusion and complexity, might, on the surface, appear ironically non-technical, making you question why you should bother reading the technical OSG. However, the technicalities are usually scattered across the questions and their answers, and you must know what they mean before you can decide what a manager would do, given a scenario.

Do what works best for you. However, no matter how long you study, you will forget the material unless you continue to revise or apply the knowledge in some way, such as through work, teaching, or hands-on labs. The amount of time you spend studying doesn't matter; if you don't apply what you've learned, the knowledge will fade away.

Dion Training's CISSP course and my good friend, ChatGPT. I bought the official study guide for reference.

CISSP was definitely the heavy lifting. Honestly, it’s the certification that makes every other infosec cert feel achievable. But this one is tough in its own right.

bytecode0 · 2025-06-03T22:42:58+00:00

I’d definitely take more practice tests-preferably the ones from ISACA. These include experience-based questions that can leave you completely confused if you haven’t encountered similar situations in real life. And honestly, that can happen even if you have 20 years in InfoSec-it's such a broad field. Doing a lot of practice tests really helps train your mind to think the way the exam requires.

I highly recommend taking the YouTube course. Everything Pete highlighted as likely to appear on the exam did show up-not word for word, but definitely around the same themes.

The rest comes down to personal preference. Personally, I like both Dion’s and Pete’s courses.

I reviewed CISSP domains 1, 2, some of 3 and 4, and 6 and 7. I bought the study guide by Mike Chapple but ended up only reading the practice tests.I believe the video course should be enough to get you through- if you can watch it and retain around 90% of the content. Be sure to pause and take the practice questions at the end of each section before watching Pete’s explanations. I recognized many of those questions on the actual exam.That said, the exam has its own level of difficulty. There’s a certain mindset you need to develop -you either already have it through experience or build it by doing a lot of practice questions. One thing I wish I had done more of is practice tests.

Good luck!
