Has anyone actually be asked those questions about local politicians?

I live in Oakville and took the test in Hamilton. I don't know who the local ones would be for Hamilton (I did look up the Oakville ones though), so if I had been asked it would be a bit hard for me. As it stands, I cannot remember who the mayor is (Rob someone perhaps?) let alone the party in power locally, and who represents them.

I could understand provisional level and federal level politicians being asked about, that makes a little bit more sense, as if you are in Ontario, you should know who the premier of Ontario is.

I think the very local level is a little too specific, as I reckon if I asked my neighbours, most could not name me the same people either.

thanks to all who replied. i took my test today (15 march) and i scored 19 from 20. so im pretty pleased right now, it was`nt that bad but i guess its like someone said on here if you prepare well enough there`s no hard questions. To make things even better i go back on mon. (18 march) to take the oath. so since i first applied for citizenship in july 2012 i guess i`ve been lucky the whole process took a very short time versus some of the postings i`ve seen on this site. anyways time for some power`s now or maybe i should make that crown royal instead. cheers

.. both of us had no questions based on the West of Canada. Most was on the East and the nearest Alberta. A few on 18th century history e.g. when the Americans invaded Canada what did they burn down? Another example; Mt Logan was named after ...... what was his profession? Our moderators were not very friendly or welcoming. But we were a minority of those who could speak good English. Not sure how people know what their score was because we were told you would never know other than if you scored higher than the pass mark which was 15 correct out of 20.

...dont forget to look at the pictures and understand the meaning. We done the on-line tests time and time again and virtually got 100% every time. Yet we were still not confident that we passed. Anywhere we did and the ceroceremonyMonday week. Good luck to the rest.

I could not forget my test if I tried. Quizzed by a Bloke who may have known about Canada...unfortunately he spoke a version of English I have never heard.

I still chuckle....to his credit....we both persevered. Vancouver 1990...
