The Canadian citizenship test assesses your knowledge of Canada’s history, geography, government, and values. It’s a crucial step towards becoming a Canadian citizen. This test helps ensure that prospective citizens understand the foundations of Canadian society and their role as responsible members.
What To Expect During Your Online Citizenship Test
Before the test, those participants will be asked to confirm their identity through personal information, and they will have to take a photo of themselves and their ID documents with a webcam before the test can begin. The online platform will continuously take photos of participants during the test which is a process that has been used to ensure the integrity of other tests that are now online, such as bar exams or admission tests.
The IRCC will be notifying those invited to take the online test by email.
