urc Citizenship Test

Before getting underway, you may be interested in taking a revised citizenship test…..one that is very different from the quiz that is generally given to applicants for Canadian citizenship. The typical citizenship test has numerous questions about Canadian government, geography, history, society, rights and responsibilities, etc. Samples of these questions can be seen on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

These are certainly important things for Canadians, and aspiring Canadians, to know about their country. However, such questions do not provide a realistic picture of the state of Canada’s fiscal situation, how its political institutions really work, the state of the nation’s defences, and the growing lack of political accountability in Canada.

Take a few minutes to try the urc Citizenship Test. After you submit your choices, the correct answers will appear and you will be able to see how many you got right. Many of the questions speak to the central issues of the underground royal commission findings and provide a good introduction to the themes to be explored in greater depth in this eLearning course.

Being a better citizen starts with being a better informed citizen. Consider this test the first step in this process.
