Citizenship Classes & Quiz

Applying for citizenship is a big step in your journey in your new home. Challenge yourself ahead of your citizenship test with our online, practice Canadian citizenship quiz.

You can apply for Canadian citizenship once meeting the physical residence requirements as a Permanent Resident: 3 years living in Canada in the past 5 years. Time spent as a temporary resident or protected person may be counted as half-days toward physical residence (up to one year).

Applicants 18–54 must pass a Canadian knowledge test—this is a sample quiz reflecting the types of questions you may see on that test. The only official study guide for the citizenship test is Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship. Other tools, like this citizenship quiz, are not created by the Government of Canada, and are only available to practice your knowledge.

Join us at a free workshop to help you prepare to successfully take the Canadian Citizenship test. This three module class is led by qualified professionals that guide you through the Discover Canada study guide, covering Canada’s history, heritage, culture, geography, and government.

You can also test your knowledge ahead of your official test with our citizenship quiz.
