The Canadian citizenship test in Alberta
The citizenship test is the same in Alberta as everywhere in Canada. It is one federal test: 20 questions, 15 correct to pass, all from the Discover Canada guide. There is no separate Alberta test.
If you live in Alberta and are between 18 and 54 on the day you sign your citizenship application, you take the same online, webcam-proctored test as applicants in every other province and province. You get 45 minutes for 20 multiple-choice questions and need 15 correct, a score of 75%, to pass.
The questions do not focus on any single region. They cover Canada as a whole. That said, it helps to be solid on the facts about your own province, since provincial and territorial facts do appear on the test.
