Citizenship Preparation

Are you writing the Canadian Citizenship test this year? Plan ahead and take our preparation course!

The course focuses on Canadian geography, history, culture and government. Gain an understanding of the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship, do practice test questions, improve English language skills and gain confidence. This course uses the citizenship study guide, Discover Canada. Learn about Canada's heritage and history, geography and regions, government and systems.

Due to the length of this course and content, no level completion certificate will be issued as proof of language proficiency.

English as a Second Language (ESL) Citizenship Preparation classes are open to Permanent Residents.
