The official study guide is always free. The guide is available in multiple formats. You can choose to:
Taking the test
The test is:
- in English or French
- 30 minutes long
- 20 questions
- multiple-choice and true or false questions
You need to get 15 correct answers to pass the test.
Your test is usually written but may be oral. A citizenship official may decide on test day that you will have an oral test instead of a written one. We base the type of test on a number of things. For example, if you have trouble reading and writing in English or French, you’ll have an oral test. An oral test is given by a citizenship official at a hearing.
What happens if you don’t pass your first test
If you don’t pass your first written test, but meet the other requirements for citizenship, we will schedule you for a second test. The second test usually takes place 4 to 8 weeks after the first test, but it may be longer.
If you don’t pass your second test, we’ll send you a notice telling you to attend a hearing with a citizenship official. The hearing:
- will last 30 to 90 minutes
- may be in person or by videoconference
- may be used to assess one or more requirements for citizenship, for example:
- knowledge of Canada
- language
If you don’t pass the test after 3 tries, we’ll refuse your application. You can re-apply to try again
