Thank you

What do you mean by "mandatory"?

You have to answer correctly at least 15 out of 20 questions.
It doesn't matter which 15 questions...

I believe it no longer applies, but years back I heard from friends who took citizenship tests back in 2007-2008 that out of those 15 questions the applicant has to get correctly, there would be some 5 questions that could not be answered incorrectly.

No. My spouse and I took the test at the same time. We both had a completely different set of questions.

Thanks.

So questions 15 to 20 are not mandatory to be answered correctly?

That's not what she said.

First of all, you can't answer incorrectly "questions 15 to 20", since this would mean that you only answered correctly 14 questions.

You need to correctly answer 15 questions or more. It doesn't matter which 15.

No,

15 Correct Answers required out of 20.

Thanks.

No.

Out of 20 questions, you need to answer 15 correctly to pass (75% of the questions). Having some of the questions being mandatory to answer correctly no longer applies and I believe it hasn't in years — it's irrelevant which ones you answer correctly, as long as 15 of the 20 questions are answered correctly.

I'm a she, though.

You should answer questions based on the current state of the government on the day in which you take your exam. Mind you, Stephen Harper is still Prime Minister of Canada until Justin Trudeau takes office, which is expected to happen tomorrow.

But what if someone has test tomorrow? What he/she should write? Trudeau or Harper?

To be honest, I can't say for sure. Trudeau's swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. ET, so technically, Harper is still PM until that happens. Then again, I don't know the exact moment in which Trudeau becomes PM. My best guess is that CIC might choose to avoid tests with those questions for any tests happening tomorrow.

the same would apply for parties in power and opposition, is not it...?
