What is the Canadian Citizenship Readiness Check exam?
Canada’s citizenship test is the live IRCC knowledge exam for most adult applicants. Officially it is typically 20 questions in 30 minutes with a 75% pass mark, based on the Discover Canada study guide — history, government and politics, rights and responsibilities, and symbols/regions/geography. Language ability and the citizenship interview/hearing steps are separate parts of the process. This UniPrep2Go page is an independent longer diagnostic (60 questions, 45 minutes, 75% pass) on overlapping Discover Canada themes — not IRCC material and not a substitute for the official 20-question / 30-minute sitting.
Administered by: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Tests are scheduled as part of the citizenship application process; confirm current rules on canada.ca. (official site ↗)
