There is a single national test, the same across Canada, but a few questions are about Quebec itself. Here is exactly what to know for Quebec, from the official guide, plus free practice in English and French.
At a glance
Quebec
The only province whose sole official language is French, and the heart of French-speaking Canada.
It is Canada's largest province by area, and Quebec City, its capital, is the only city in North America north of Mexico to keep its original fortified walls.

The Quebec questions to know
Most of the Canadian Citizenship Test is national: rights and responsibilities, history, geography and how government works, all from Discover Canada. The part that is specific to you is your province. For Quebec, be ready to name its capital, Quebec City; its Premier, François Legault; and what its provincial representatives are called (Member of the National Assembly (MNA)). These are drawn straight from the official guide and current public records, and they change with elections, so confirm them close to your test date.

Practise for the Quebec test
Run a timed practice test drawn from Discover Canada, with a plain explanation after every answer, in English or French. Set your province so the local answers are right for you.
No. There is one national Canadian citizenship test, based on the official guide Discover Canada, and it is the same in every province and territory. What changes is that a few questions ask about your own province, Quebec, such as its capital and its political representatives.
The Canadian Citizenship Test is 20 questions and you need 15 right to pass. Only a few relate to your province, such as its capital and your elected representatives; the rest is national content from Discover Canada. So most of your study time should go to the national material, not the Quebec-specific facts.
It helps. The test can ask you to name the leaders of your province, and those change with elections and appointments, so check the current names close to your test date rather than relying on old notes. You do not need to memorise other local officials like your Member of Parliament or your mayor, which are not on the test.
Yes. You can take the Canadian Citizenship Test in English or French anywhere in Canada, and Discover Canada is published in both official languages. This page and our practice are available in both.
Your province-specific answers follow where you live, so use the province on your current mailing address with IRCC. If you move, update your address and study the capital and representatives for your new province instead.
