The Canadian citizenship test in Northwest Territories
The citizenship test is the same in Northwest Territories 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 Northwest Territories test.
If you live in Northwest Territories 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 territory 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 territory, since provincial and territorial facts do appear on the test.
