How long is the Canadian citizenship test?
You are given 45 minutes to complete the 20-question Canadian citizenship test. Most people finish comfortably within that time.
The online test gives you 45 minutes for 20 multiple-choice questions. Once it starts you cannot pause it, and it submits automatically when the 45 minutes are up. That is still plenty of time, since the questions are short and you either know the answer or you do not.
Timing is rarely the problem on this test. Preparation is what matters. If you have studied the material, you will not need the full time.
Our practice tests mirror the real format, so you can get comfortable answering 20 questions in one sitting before the real thing.
