The 283 questions with answers

Questions people ask.

How many questions are in the Canadian citizenship test?
20 questions — multiple choice or true/false — which you answer in 45 minutes. You need 15 right, that is 75 %, to pass.
Who has to take it?
People applying for Canadian citizenship who are aged 18 to 54 on the day they sign their application.
How is it taken?
Usually online, at home, after IRCC sends you an invitation: alone, on a computer or tablet, with no notes. You can take it in English or in French.
What happens if I fail?
You have three chances. If you do not pass the third time, you are invited to a hearing with a citizenship official, who asks the questions aloud.
Can I practise the oral hearing?
Yes. In the interview mode your browser reads each question aloud in English and you answer by microphone or by typing; each answer is checked at once against the accepted answers. As at the hearing, there are 20 questions and you need 15 right to pass; no account is needed.
What does the test cover?
The study guide Discover Canada: the rights and responsibilities of citizens, who Canadians are, Canada’s history, how Canadians govern themselves, elections, the justice system, symbols, the economy and the regions.
Are these the real test questions?
No. The real questions are not published. Ours are written by us on the facts of Discover Canada, and each one was checked by an independent reading and against public sources.
