Citizenship Test
You can use the information above to prepare yourself for the Citizenship Test.
When you apply for Canadian citizenship, officials will check your documents. They will confirm your immigration status and make sure you don’t have a criminal record. You must also pass a Citizenship test.
The Citizenship test is usually a written test, but it could be an interview. The test helps government officials decide if you can speak English or French well enough to become a Canadian citizen. It is also used to test your knowledge of Canada and the Canadian government. Make sure you know who your elected representatives are. The information on this page is accurate as of April 26th, 2005. Please check for any changes before you take the test! We wish you all the best, but we are not responsible for the results of your test!
