One way IRCC assesses this is through the test. By passing the test, you show you have some knowledge about Canada, our history, our political institutions and other aspects of Canadian life. This knowledge is important for you to fit within Canadian society, so you can fulfil your duties as a citizen, and so you are aware of your rights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/canadian-citizenship.ca\/faqs\/what-is-the-oath\/\">What is the Canadian Citizenship Oath and Why Do I Have to Swear It?<\/a><\/h2>\n<div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full\" id=\"wpforms-1136\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-1136\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"1136\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/447\" data-token=\"b99bc505178f6b6fa4e55ced952e6d62\"><noscript class=\"wpforms-error-noscript\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/noscript><div class=\"wpforms-field-container\"><div id=\"wpforms-1136-field_1-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-text\" data-field-id=\"1\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1136-field_1\">Name<\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-1136-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1]\" ><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-1136-field_2-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-number\" data-field-id=\"2\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1136-field_2\">Phone number<\/label><input type=\"number\" pattern=\"\\d*\" id=\"wpforms-1136-field_2\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][2]\" placeholder=\"4165551234\" ><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-1136-field_3-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-id=\"3\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1136-field_3\">Email<\/label><input type=\"email\" id=\"wpforms-1136-field_3\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][3]\" spellcheck=\"false\" ><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-1136-field_7-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-textarea\" data-field-id=\"7\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-1136-field_7\">(optional) More information<\/label><textarea id=\"wpforms-1136-field_7\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][7]\" ><\/textarea><\/div><\/div><!-- .wpforms-field-container --><div class=\"wpforms-recaptcha-container wpforms-is-recaptcha\" ><div class=\"g-recaptcha\" data-sitekey=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/admin\/site\/596231487\/setup#:~:text=6Lc_xYkjAAAAALaAYm9WM9lDlArC3TF_s4RvNWr\" data-size=\"invisible\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpforms-submit-container\" ><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"wpforms[id]\" value=\"1136\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"wpforms[author]\" value=\"4\"><button type=\"submit\" name=\"wpforms[submit]\" id=\"wpforms-submit-1136\" class=\"wpforms-submit\" data-alt-text=\"Sending\u2026\" data-submit-text=\"Submit\" aria-live=\"assertive\" value=\"wpforms-submit\">Submit<\/button><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canadian-citizenship.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/wpforms\/assets\/images\/submit-spin.svg\" class=\"wpforms-submit-spinner\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"26\" height=\"26\" alt=\"Loading\"><\/div><\/form><\/div>  <!-- .wpforms-container -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian Citizenship Test 20 questions long multiple choice must be written unless you qualify for the oral test mandatory for all citizenship applicants between the ages of 18 and 54 The Canadian Citizenship Test is an exam that tests your knowledge of Canada, its customs, values and history.
