Are you ready to take the leap into being a Canadian citizen? If you're a permanent resident, one key step you'll need to tackle is the Canadian citizenship test. But don't worry! This friendly guide will help you understand what to expect!

The test is designed to assess your knowledge of Canada, covering topics such as our history, geography, economy, laws, and the rights that come with being a citizen. It consists of 20 questions—mixing multiple choice and true-or-false formats. The golden rule? You need to answer at least 15 of those questions correctly (that's 75%) to pass!

Usually, you'll take this test online and should set aside about 45 minutes to complete it. You have the option to take it in English or French, depending on your preference. And remember, this test is required for permanent residents aged 18 to 54.

Think you’re ready to ace it? Before you dive in, why not test your knowledge with some practice questions? It’s a fun way to prepare! When you finish, keep track of your correct answers to measure your understanding.

If you don’t pass on your first try, no worries! You can retake the test a couple more times if needed. Just make sure you review what you missed and prepare for the next round. If you ultimately pass, you’ll be invited to a citizenship ceremony – the final step before you proudly call yourself a citizen!
