Hi All,
Plzzzzzzz read the book Discover Canada and do not rely on online tests. There are different versions of Question copies A B C D E etc so u dont know which one do u get. I got the one which has those 4 to 5 questions which i did not find in the online tests but I have read the book so i know little bit. I gave my test on 2nd april 2012. Also read the captions of the pics on the book.
The questions which I remember are:
1. why Air Marshall William A Bishop is known for.......something related to him(VICtoria cross) You can only find picture of him with the caption.
2.which two fight on plains of Abraham.(British and French)
3.The majors name who fought in 1812 .they are 3.
4.how many steps does bill approved.
5.the two lines of rememberance day poem.(the flanders field)
6.which province is good in production of wheat.
7.What does the party called if it succeed with more then half votes . ITs little tricky and i tick to majority party bcaz other options are not close to it.

10. First nation people and french business was fur trade
11.who is representative of Queen in canada GOVERNOR GENeral

13. The person is consider innocent untill proven guilty.
14. Law under process something like that.
15. One question is related to Election and I totally forget about it.
I hope it will help the other people but I must say Plzzz read book thoroughly and also practice your conversation in english because if u loose the interview than they right away tell u to appear in front of Judge and then He will take your interview.
Mine was fine bcaz I can speak english normally(not fluently) and the officer did not object on my english. But the poor lady before me, age between 35 to 40 and she did not speak well and he just failed her and tell her to appear before judge after 6 months and tell her in the mean time improve your english. I was shocked and nervous but my interview goes well bcaz my husband and son both are citizens and i did not travel a lot. But theay are taking around 5 minutes to 40 minutes interviews according to the situations. Well Good luck to everyone.

you know you are not allowed to share the questions given to you on the test? It says on the test....

it's call "cheating" and this affects the system. So please don't do it.

this may be a joke, but every joke has some truth in it. I remember some years ago the University of Bangalore was selling degrees for a few hundred dollars, inclusive Master's and Doctor's..

So no wonder the authorities are suspicious of some foreign degrees. Now people try to cheat during a citizenship exam, well, I am not impressed, specially since it says not to share information.

When we took the test the CIC officer told us not to share the questions. If they discover this thread they might make another changes on the rule. We never know, it happen frequently.

hi,
I have a doubt regarding canadian citizenship exam.Can we expect short answer type questions(answer that require elaborate explanation) or is it purely mutiple choice with options.
