The questions IRCC publishes in Discover Canada, plus questions written from the guide with the chapter shown on each one. Built to the real format: 20 questions, 45 minutes, 15 to pass.
Work through all 247 questions. Stop anytime — your progress is saved.
20 random questions, 45 minutes. Just like the real exam.
Twenty questions, either multiple choice or true/false, in English or French, with 45 minutes to finish and at least 15 correct to pass. You get three chances. Those figures come from IRCC's own page on the test, not from a third-party reviewer — worth saying because most sites state 30 minutes, which is wrong.
Thirty-one are IRCC's own, from the Study Questions chapter of Discover Canada: three complete multiple-choice questions with the department's own options and answer key, and twenty-eight open study questions. IRCC prints those twenty-eight without answers — its text says only that the answers are somewhere in the guide — so they appear here as flashcards with an answer we sourced from the relevant chapter, and the chapter is named on each one. The rest we wrote ourselves from the guide's twelve content chapters, each citing the chapter it rests on.
Yes, and IRCC says so twice over: the study page states that all test questions are based on the guide, and the guide itself warns that if you prepare from anything else you do so at your own risk. The test asks about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and about Canada's history, geography, economy, government, laws and symbols — which is exactly how the categories here are organised.
In places, and we mark those places rather than quietly modernising them. IRCC has been updating the guide chapter by chapter: the Oath of Citizenship now names King Charles the Third and includes the Indigenous-rights clause added in 2021, and the symbols chapter's royal anthem already reads God Save the King. One chapter — How Canadians Govern Themselves — still describes Elizabeth II in the present tense. Where a chapter states something that has since changed, the answer follows the guide, because that is what the test follows, and the explanation tells you what changed.
Some are deliberately not, and we say which. A handful of the guide's facts have aged: it still refers to NAFTA, which CUSMA replaced in 2020; it counts Russia in the G8, which became the G7 in 2014; it gives 308 federal electoral districts, a number since increased. The test is set from the guide, so the keyed answers match the guide — and every one of those explanations tells you the current position too. We would rather you knew both than be surprised in either direction.
No. IRCC publishes exactly thirty-one questions and no more — its "practice questions" link points back to the same chapter of the guide. Anything a site presents as a larger official bank was written by that site. Ours were too, and we say so on each question rather than implying otherwise.

The thirty-one official questions are reproduced from the Study Questions chapter of Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (© 2012, Ci1-11/2012E). Their wording is unchanged. The remaining questions were written by GoExam from the facts in the guide's chapters, in our own words, and each names the chapter it draws on.
