Canadian Citizenship Test
How many questions are on the Canadian citizenship test?
Quick answer
The Canadian citizenship test has 20 multiple-choice and true/false questions. You get 45 minutes to answer them, and you must answer at least 15 correctly (75%) to pass.
How the 20 questions work
Every candidate answers 20 questions drawn from a bank based on the official guide "Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship". The questions cover all five chapters -- rights and responsibilities, people and symbols, history, government, and geography -- so you can be asked about any topic in the guide.
Question formats
Questions are multiple-choice or true/false. Most ask you to pick the single correct answer from four options. Reading each question carefully and knowing the whole guide is the only reliable preparation.
How to be ready for any of them
Because the 20 are drawn from the full guide, the only reliable preparation is to cover all five chapters. Timed mock tests that mirror the real 20-question, 45-minute format are the fastest way to find your weak chapters and fix them before the day.
