Prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test with essential study materials, practice questions, and tips to help you successfully pass and become a Canadian citizen.

What is the Canadian Citizenship Test?

The Canadian citizenship test is an official test administered by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as part of becoming a naturalized citizen of Canada. It evaluates your knowledge of Canada, including the rights and responsibilities of citizens. After taking the test, you may also be required to attend an interview, where English or French language skills will be assessed, depending on your age and application requirements. In some cases, particularly due to COVID-19, the test may be conducted online instead of in person. Once you receive the invitation from IRCC, you’ll get details on how to take the test.

Eligibility for the Canadian Citizenship Test

The Canadian citizenship test is required for individuals between the ages of 18 and 54 when they submit their citizenship application. If you’re 55 or older on the day you apply, you won’t need to take the test, but you will still need to attend an interview. In cases involving minors, those under 18 may need to attend the test with a parent applying at the same time. If a minor is under 14 and applies without a parent, they may only be required to attend an interview if IRCC has specific questions about their application process. For minors aged between 14 and 17, an interview is mandatory regardless of parental application.

Citizenship Test Content

The citizenship test assesses your knowledge of key aspects of Canada, including the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizens. The questions cover various topics such as history, geography, economy, government, laws, and symbols. Importantly, the test does not assess your English or French language skills, as those are evaluated during the interview. The test questions are drawn from the Discover Canada study guide, which is available for free in formats like MP3, ebook, PDF, or paper copy. You can also use online practice tests to help you prepare for the test.\

Scheduling the Citizenship Test

Once you have submitted your citizenship application process, you will be contacted by IRCC with an invitation to take the citizenship test. This usually happens within a few weeks after receiving your acknowledgment of receipt letter. You will be provided with details about the date, time, and location of your test. If you need to change the scheduled date, you must attend the local office or use the online web form on the official website to request a change and provide a valid and reasonable reason for the change. After processing, you will be notified by email or letter if the change is successful.

Taking the Citizenship Test

The Canadian citizenship test typically lasts 30 minutes and consists of 20 questions, which are a mix of multiple-choice and true or false questions. To pass, you need to answer at least 15 questions correctly. The test can be taken in English or French. You will be required to enter the testing room on your own, but if you face reading difficulty, you might be offered an oral test instead. These tests are conducted by citizenship officials and may take place during special hearings, which could occur four to eight weeks after the original test date. If you require any special provisions such as wheelchair access, sign language interpretation, or need to be accompanied by an attendant like a seeing eye dog or a sighted guide, you should inform the office beforehand. Additionally, the test may be available in an accessible format like Braille, audio, or large print.

Post-Test Process

After completing the citizenship test, you will have an interview with a citizenship official. During the interview, the official will provide you with the results of your test and may verify your language skills if you are between 18 to 54 years of age. They will also verify your application and check your original documents. If the official has any questions regarding your application, they will ask during this time. Once everything is confirmed, the IRCC will determine whether you meet all the requirements to pass. If you pass, you may receive the date and time for your Canada Citizenship Ceremony and your test results. If not, you will receive this information via letter or email at a later date.

Next Steps After Failing the Citizenship Test

If you don’t pass your first citizenship test, but you still meet the other requirements for citizenship, IRCC will schedule you for a second test, typically within four to eight weeks. If you don’t pass the second test, you’ll receive a notice to attend a hearing with a citizenship official. This hearing will last between 30 to 90 minutes and may be conducted in person or via videoconference. During the hearing, the official will assess your knowledge of Canada, including the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship, as well as your English or French language skills. If you fail to pass the test after three tries, your citizenship application will be refused, although you are free to apply again later. If you are asked to attend an interview, and your family applied together, your applications will be processed separately unless you specify that you want them handled together.

What is the Canadian Citizenship Test?

The Canadian Citizenship Test is an official test administered by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess your knowledge of Canada’s history, geography, government, laws, and the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizens.

Who needs to take the Canadian Citizenship Test?

Individuals aged 18 to 54 must take the test as part of their citizenship application. People 55 or older do not need to take the test but will need to attend an interview. Minors may need to attend an interview, depending on their age and circumstances.

What types of questions are asked on the Canadian Citizenship Test?

The test consists of multiple-choice and true or false questions that cover topics such as history, geography, economy, government, laws, and symbols of Canada.

What should I bring to the Canadian Citizenship Test?

You must bring your Notice to Appear, permanent resident card, personal identification, any passports and travel documents, and proof of your English or French language skills if you are between 18 and 54 years old.

What happens if I don’t pass the Canadian Citizenship Test?

If you fail the test, IRCC will schedule a second test. If you fail the second test, you will be asked to attend a hearing with a citizenship official. After three failed attempts, your citizenship application will be refused, but you can apply again later.
