The test has 20 multiple-choice or true/false questions, you have 45 minutes, and you need 15 correct (75%) to pass. Applicants aged 18 to 54 take it, usually online, in English or French, with up to three tries. Our mock test uses the same length, clock and pass mark. Always confirm current details on canada.ca.
Read Discover Canada and the matching lessons a chapter at a time, answering the review questions at the end of each. Use flashcards and chapter quizzes for whatever doesn't stick; the site puts the questions you've missed in front of you first. Once you've covered every chapter, take mock tests until you pass them comfortably.
You generally get up to three tries. If you don't pass after those, you're invited to a hearing with a citizenship official rather than being refused automatically. The lesson "After the Test" explains the details.
The printed guide was last updated years ago, so a few facts have changed: there are now 343 federal ridings (the guide says 308), Canada is in the G7 rather than the G8, the Oath names King Charles III, and NAFTA has been replaced by CUSMA. Where that happens we teach the current fact and say what the guide says.
The guide says you should know the capital of your province or territory as well as Canada's, and the names of your representatives. The study guide's "How Much Do You Know About Your Government?" page is a good checklist.
