Prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test
If you have applied (or planning to apply) for Canadian citizenship by naturalization, you may already know that one of the final stages of the procedure is writing the so-called “Canadian Citizenship Test”.
If you think the citizenship test is a mere formality, think again! Dominion Institute’s research paper shows that 45% of Canadians would actually FAIL the test if they had to write it now. All the questions are based on “A Look At Canada”, which is automatically sent to all applicants for Canadian Citizenship, free of charge.
During the test, you will have 30 minutes to answer 20 multiple choice questions about Canada. To pass, you must answer at least 12 of them correctly. Besides, ALL questions on the electoral system MUST be answered correctly.
To answer the test questions, you will be given paper forms and detailed instructions on how to fill them in. Pencils will be available. Usually the tests take place in large community centres. It is not unusual to see more than 500 people write the test at the same time.
You will be instructed to bring several documents to the test. Read your Notice VERY carefully. In case of doubt, bring more documents than needed. If you forget a certain document, for example, a Birth Certificate - which is required in SOME cases - you will not be admitted to the test and will have to wait for another invitation - which can take months.
You will not be allowed to use the manual “A Look At Canada” at the test, or any other literature, or any portable electronic device.
The best way to prepare to the test is by practicing with sample questions at home.
We offer a series of Practice Questions in PDF format, available for immediate download.
You will receive the full text of questions by email, immediately after purchase. Please make sure you give us your valid email address, otherwise you will be unable to access the questions.
Some questions will appear too easy. It is normal. In the real test, some questions will be very easy, too. You could be asked what the capital of Canada is, but your next question could be “When did Newfoundland join Canada?” (1949). Make sure that you are ready for these questions, too!
To help you prepare, we offer Practice Questions in PDF format: they are available to you immediately, by email. Please visit our digital Bookstore.
You can also try an Evaluation Test, which will tell you whether you need to study all the questions or only the hardest ones.
Also available: Online Training. You can access one category of questions (History of Canada) for free. To access the rest, you will have to upgrade your account. You will get access to an infinite amount of sample tests, real test simulations, random tests, category tests, and many helpful features, such as Audio support, Timers, Printable Results, etc.
