LEARN Unit 1     STUDY Unit 1     PRACTICE Unit 1     Timeline       Practice Test     Membership Info

Use this unique Canadian history timeline to study for your Canadian Citizenship test. The events on this timeline are those that are mentioned in Discover Canada. Although some details and context are explained on the timeline, it is not enough information to prepare you for the Citizenship test by itself. Be sure to read the chapters in the Learn part of this website, and to visit the Download Centre to get an original copy of Discover Canada.

Before you begin, there is one very important fact that you must know, but that does not fit on the timeline:

People disagree about the exact beginnings of Habeas Corpus, which is why it is not on the timeline. Nevertheless, you need to know what it is (the right to challenge unlawful detention), and that it is part of our legal inheritance from England.

How to Use this Booklet to Prepare for the Citizenship Test

This booklet will help you prepare for the citizenship test. You should:

• Study this guide;
• Ask a friend or family member to help you practise answering questions about Canada;
• Call a local school or school board, a college, a community centre or a local organization that provides services to immigrants and ask for information on citizenship classes;
• Take English or French language classes, which the Government of Canada offers free of charge.

About the Citizenship Test

The citizenship test is usually a written test, but it could be an interview. You will be tested on two basic requirements for citizenship: 1) knowledge of Canada and of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and 2) adequate knowledge of English or French. Adult applicants 55 years of age and over do not need to write the citizenship test. The Citizenship Regulations provide information on how your ability to meet the knowledge of Canada requirement is determined.

All the citizenship test questions are based on the subject areas noted in the Citizenship Regulations, and all required information is provided in this study guide.

After the Test

If you pass the test and meet all the other requirements, you will receive a Notice to Appear to Take the Oath of Citizenship. This document tells you the date, time and place of your citizenship ceremony.

At the ceremony, you will:

• Take the Oath of Citizenship;
• Sign the oath form; and
• Receive your Canadian Citizenship Certificate.

If you do not pass the test, you will receive a notification indicating the next steps.

You are encouraged to bring your family and friends to celebrate this occasion.

Welcome! It took courage to move to a new country. Your decision to apply for citizenship is another big step. You are becoming part of a great tradition that was built by generations of pioneers before you. Once you have met all the legal requirements, we hope to welcome you as a new citizen with all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

Canada has welcomed generations of newcomers to our shores to help us build a free, law-abiding and prosperous society. For 400 years, settlers and immigrants have contributed to the diversity and richness of our country, which is built on a proud history and a strong identity.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy, a parliamentary democracy and a federal state. Canadians are bound together by a shared commitment to the rule of law and to the institutions of parliamentary government.

Canadians take pride in their identity and have made sacrifices to defend their way of life. By coming to Canada and taking this important step toward Canadian citizenship, you are helping to write the continuing story of Canada.

Immigrants between the ages of 18 and 54 must have adequate knowledge of English or French in order to become Canadian citizens. You must also learn about voting procedures, Canada’s history, symbols, democratic institutions, geography, and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.

Canadian citizens enjoy many rights, but Canadians also have responsibilities. They must obey Canada’s laws and respect the rights and freedoms of others.

This guide will help you prepare to become a Canadian citizen. Good luck!

Understanding the Oath

In Canada, we profess our loyalty to a person who represents all Canadians and not to a document such as a constitution, a banner such as a flag, or a geopolitical entity such as a country. In our constitutional monarchy, these elements are encompassed by the Sovereign (Queen or King). It is a remarkably simple yet powerful principle: Canada is personified by the Sovereign just as the Sovereign is personified by Canada
