When we took it it was a breeze (long time ago though). Read the book, do the online sample test and should be no problem.

After the test, I asked the attendant if there was a pass mark, she said no there was not. My reply, 'so if you get a few wrong it's OK', her response, 'it depends on what you get wrong'. No idea how we did, but we have our Canadian passports, so guess we did OK. Not sure if they make it up as they go along. Has anyone failed the test and been called in for an interview?

Just did the test for the heck of it and got 48 out of 50.

I've never done any studying for the test and citizenship (if we go for it) is a long way off having been here only a year. However I did 50 of the questions in the sample test link and scored 47. Many of them were answered based upon me helping my daughter with her grade 7 social studies!

The 'test' is a piece of cake!...If you don't pass it, you should not be here! :blink:

Re: citizenship exam........
 

That all depends in what capacity you are living here. It is possible for people to reside here permanently without knowing any of this. Many people in Canada do not have a high proficiency in either of the official languages and I would be very surprised if they had the slightest clue about how Canada was formed. I agree that the questions seem quite simple for someone who is planning to become a citizen, but many who live here are not.

Then I respectfully suggest they get aquainted accordingly ...sooner the better!:cool:

Re: citizenship exam........
 

Many who were born here don't know the answers!

Re: citizenship exam........
 

I don't understand that. Unless things have changed somewhat in the past two years, the passmark is 12/20 and there are only a couple of questions you must get right.

Re: citizenship exam........
 

True. I tried out the practice text on Souvette and she didn't do well. I can't think of a single member of her family that would pass.

Re: citizenship exam........
 

Im pretty sure it didnt say that!

Its just all (ie both) questions on voting or something I think you will find...

Re: citizenship exam........
 

did the test got a 100% and promply forgot it all who cares about why canada existed in the past Just pray is still exists and doesn't end up like EU SAU, AU, but it probably will. Look out for the Amero's

Re: citizenship exam........
 

Google the sample UK citizenship test (i'll find a link when I get home!)....

I took that blind and failed miserably.... Thank god I don't live there anymore... what would I have done then??? :D
