How CitizenReady works
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Four steps. Every topic. No surprises on test day.
Practise every question
220 original practice questions across all 10 topic areas, plus chapter quizzes that cycle through the whole chapter without repeating, so you truly see every question and every topic.
Take real-format mock tests
20 questions drawn from every chapter, 45-minute timer, flag questions for review, and a question palette — just like the real test. Every mock brings fresh, unseen questions first.
Fix your weak spots
Missed questions go into a review deck until you answer them right twice. Your dashboard shows readiness by chapter, so you study what is actually weak — not what you already know.

Every topic in Discover Canada, covered
The test asks about rights and responsibilities, history, geography, economy, government, laws, and symbols. CitizenReady covers all of them — in the guide reader, in chapter quizzes, and in every mock test.
Rights, responsibilities & who we are
Magna Carta, the Charter, the four freedoms, the six responsibilities, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and Canada's two official languages.
History & modern Canada
From L'Anse aux Meadows to Confederation in 1867, the world wars, the Charter in 1982, and the Canada of today.
Government, elections & justice
Parliament, how a bill becomes law, voting and the secret ballot, and the courts and police under the rule of law.
Symbols, economy & regions
The flag, motto, and anthem; the three industries and the United States as largest trading partner; and the capital of every province and territory.
Common questions
Citizenship test questions, answered
How many questions are on the Canadian citizenship test?
The test has 20 questions. You need at least 15 correct answers to pass. Questions are multiple-choice or true-or-false, in English or French.
How long is the citizenship test?
The test is 45 minutes long. CitizenReady mock tests use the same 45-minute timer, with a 30-minute strict option if you want extra pressure while you practise.
What is the test based on?
Every test question is based on Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, the official IRCC study guide. CitizenReady practice questions are original questions written from that guide — they are not real test questions, which IRCC does not publish.
Who has to take the test?
Applicants aged 18 to 54 must take the knowledge test. Applicants 55 and older do not need to write the test, but still attend the citizenship ceremony.
What happens if I fail?
You have up to 3 chances to pass. If you do not pass after 3 attempts, IRCC will invite you to a hearing with a citizenship official.
Is CitizenReady really free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, no paywall. Progress is saved on your own device. The optional fresh-question feature uses AI grounded in the guide; if it is unavailable, the full 220-question bank still works.
