Taking the Canadian citizenship test is an exciting step towards becoming a full citizen of this beautiful country! This guide will help you understand how the test works, who can take it, and how to prepare for it.
The citizenship test checks your knowledge about Canadian history, geography, and government. It’s a 45-minute test available online in either English or French. You’ll face 20 questions and need to get at least 15 right to pass!
If you’re between 18 and 54 years old and meet other citizenship requirements, you'll need to take the test. Don’t worry if you don’t pass on your first try—you have two more chances within 30 days!
To prepare, grab the official study guide, “Discover Canada,” and try out some practice tests online. On test day, make sure your webcam is working and that you’re in a quiet spot!
Once you pass, you may have an interview and then finally get to celebrate your Canadian citizenship at a ceremony. You'll sing the national anthem and take the Oath of Citizenship. Exciting, right?
