About the Canadian Citizenship Test

The citizenship test has 20 questions based on the official Discover Canada guide. You need 15 correct to pass (75%), and you now have 45 minutes (recently increased from 30).

Citizenship is bilingual, so you can study every question in English or French and switch whenever you like.

Most people take the test online from home after an invitation from IRCC, so a working camera, microphone, and stable connection matter.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A small number are specific to where you live, covering things like your provincial or territorial capital and how your government works. That is why we have you set your province first, so you study the right answers rather than another province's.

IRCC usually offers a second written test. If you do not pass that one, you are scheduled for a hearing where a citizenship official asks the questions with you in person.

You take the test if you are 18 to 54 on the day you sign your application. If you are under 18 or 55 and over you are generally exempt, though you still attend the oath if you are 14 or older.

Do not panic. Contact IRCC and they can reset your test. To avoid it, use a wired connection or sit close to your router, and test your camera and microphone before you start.

Yes. It is offered in both official languages and you can switch freely here. Study in the one you will be tested in, a few terms read differently between the English and French versions.

Online test results often come back quickly, sometimes within minutes and usually within a few days through your IRCC account. After you pass, you wait for an invitation to the oath ceremony.
