What is on the Canadian Citizenship Test
Questions are drawn from 6 chapters of Discover Canada, and they are not weighted evenly. Largest first, which is the order worth revising in:
How to prepare in four steps
1. Sit one timed mock before you read anything
It takes 45 minutes and tells you which chapters are already fine. Studying before you know that is guessing. Take a timed mock.
2. Read only the chapters you lost marks on
Reading Discover Canada front to back is the slowest route. Use the weighting above: a chapter with hundreds of facts costs you far more than one with a dozen. Read the study guide.
3. Drill those chapters until they stop hurting
Chapter drills ask only about one area, so you find out quickly whether the reading stuck. Recognition feels like knowledge and is not the same thing.
4. Retest under the clock, then book
Clear 15 out of 20 comfortably and repeatedly, not once. Attempts are limited, so walk in ready. What it costs.

Common questions
- How many questions are in the Canadian Citizenship Test?
- 20 multiple-choice questions, with 45 minutes to answer them.
- What is the pass mark for the Canadian Citizenship Test?
- You need 15 of 20 correct, which is 75%.
- How much does the Canadian Citizenship Test cost?
- The test is part of your citizenship application rather than a separately booked exam, so practising first saves you time rather than a second fee.
- Are these the real exam questions?
- No. No government publishes its real exam questions. These are written from Discover Canada, the official study guide the real questions are drawn from.
- Is the Canadian Citizenship Test hard?
- It is straightforward if you have read the material and unforgiving if you have not. You need 15 of 20 correct, so you can only afford 5 mistakes. Most people who fail have read the guide once and never tested themselves under time.
- How should I prepare for the Canadian Citizenship Test?
- Sit one timed mock before you read anything. It takes 45 minutes and tells you which chapters are already fine, so you can spend your study time on the two or three that are costing you marks. Then drill those, and retest. Reading Discover Canada front to back is the slowest route.
