The new version of the Canadian citizenship test, launched by the federal government starting March 15, 2010, is based on the new study guide called "Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship". The new manual contains several chapters, the largest of which is the chapter about Canadian history. Other chapters include Canada’s Economy, the Justice System, Federal Elections, Canadian Symbols, etc.

During the test, you will have 30 minutes to answer 20 multiple choice questions. If you make more than 5 mistakes, you will fail the test. Note that some questions - for example, questions about federal elections and voting procedures - are mandatory, meaning that even one single mistake can result in a failed exam. You get only one chance to write the citizenship test: if you fail, you will not be allowed to take the written test again.

Our website offers a unique training program which creates simulations of citizenship tests and allows you to memorize the required information quickly and easily. Our Basic Kit contains 300 questions and our Complete Kit - 500 practice questions. We only offer questions that have a high probability of being asked. More than 500 questions would only mean useless work for you. All of our questions are based on the new study guide, Discover Canada. Our Complete Kit also offers "Express Training": we selected just 200 questions that are extremely important and are most likely to show up on your test.

The best way to prepare is to take a Simulated Test first; our Advanced Result Analysis will immediately show your weaknesses and strengths. For example, if you see that most of your mistakes come from Chapter 10 (Canada’s Regions), you may want to review that chapter in more detail.

TestCanada.com offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee in case of failed test. Our training system is efficient and easy to use. You can start practicing immediately: your access key is delivered instantly to your email or your mobile phone. From our statistics we know that most people need 6-8 hours to complete our training. Our goal is to prepare you for the exam with minimum effort and as quickly as possible. Hundreds of new Canadians took our training and successfully passed their citizenship test.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Simulated Test?

A Simulated Test is an imitation of the real test. It also consists of 20 multiple-choice questions; questions are taken randomly out of a database of questions based on the entire required material. It is timed: you have 30 minutes to answer 20 questions. If you make 8 mistakes or less, you pass.

What happens once I make my payment?

You will receive two email messages at the same time: one from PayPal, which is your receipt; and the other one from TestCanada, containing your personal access link. All you need to do is click on that link, and you'll be directed to a webpage where you will be able to complete the registration process and access your Training Panel. Your access password (which you will need to access your Training Panel from a different computer, or at a later date), will be sent to you immediately after your registration has been completed.

I didn't have the opportunity to enter my mailing address during the payment process!

We don't need your mailing address: the item is delivered by email, instantly; you access your Training Panel online. if you wish to practice without being connected to the internet, you can download the PDF files with questions and practice on paper. But note that the whole set of questions is only available in the online version.

Ivana, this is absurd: people can come to Canada from the Moon, we don't have to be FAIR to anyone, they MUST speak our language and learn our ways. And if WE decide (our government decides = we decide) that they need to know the HISTORY of Canada, then TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, but that's the condition. Canada doesn't exist for everybody to use it as a safe escape place. IT IS NOT A RIGHT, but a PRIVILEGE, which Canada decides to grant, or NOT.

The test is not meant to screen off people who don't know some obscure data in the book. It is meant to send a message to conservative electorate. It's simple politics, basic populism. Large groups of people LIKE the idea of foreigners needing to pass the test. So, fine, let's have it. Your outrage is not strong enough, and is outweighed by benefits you'll receive (otherwise, why didn't you apply in all these 30 years?). Rednecks are happy, you're happy (eventually), there's more $$$ in govt's pocket... I say, it's a darn good idea!!! It's easy and it works.

The test should definitely be HARDER. It should be as hard as a GMAT, at least. Getting into an MBA program should be EASIER than becoming a Canadian. For a simple reason: getting a Master degree can mean something, or can mean nothing - it all depends on what you do with it. While being a Canadian gives you REAL, tangible benefits, provided by the whole Canadian society. It should be DESERVED; and eligibility should NEVER be just a formality.
