Hmmmm I think it's Nova Scotia

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

I know we all know it's Toronto, but I think it's a trick question as Ottawa is also in Ontario, I am guessing this one may have caught a few out

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Yes I know. I bet it has. The very first time I flew to Canada with my kids, I was sitting the departure lounge chatting with them about Canada. I realized I did not know what the capital of Canada was so I asked someone who had a Canadian passport and she told me it was Ottawa.

I'm sure if asked the provinicial capital of BC, people would say Vancouver

I thought the capital of Ontario was Ottawa

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Oh well ... that's one you won't forget now:

Ontario = Toronto
Canada = Ottawa

The only officially bilingual province is .... ?

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

New Brunswick?

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Good. Go to the top of the class!

Bonus question:
And the most densely populated province is ... ?

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Under the constitution of Canada, New Brunswick (and the country of Canada). However, the Province of Manitoba is also officially bilingual by the Manitoba Act (provincial constitution, that part probably only amendable by the Parliament of Canada), so I wouldn't be surprised if the biggest source of wrong answers for that Q come from the prairies, since new Manitobans will see all their signage twice.

I imagine some people would write Quebec as well.

Any takers for my last Q: (most densely pop province)? you can find it on a google search. The answer surprised me.

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

I am going with PEI. But I cheated and googled it...

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Well I had to as well! That's what it seems to be!

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

This whole thing is going amazingly quickly now...I'm doing the Citizenship Oath Ceremony on 20th February....so less than 4 months from start to finish:blink:

Very best of luck Snowy, really you won't need it...it really is not difficult...it's just the idea of it that looms pretty large...I had made mine into a huge big mental hurdle....there is remarkably little drama in day to day life in NB I fear...I need to get a hobby...

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
 

Thank you! I think the Qs in:

How Canadian are You, eh?

are a little harder than I envisage the test will be, but I like the site.
