The Canadian citizenship test passing score is 75%. There are 20 questions and you must answer at least 15 correctly.
How the test is scored
Each question is worth one mark and there is no penalty for wrong answers, so answer every question. You usually have 30 minutes.
What happens if you do not pass?
You are typically offered another opportunity — a second test or an interview with a citizenship officer. See what happens if you fail.
