5. Get ready for the test.
You will receive the publication A Look at Canada after we receive your application form. You should begin to study as soon as you receive it to prepare for your citizenship test. You may also want to go to a citizenship class if one is being held near you.
If you meet the basic requirements for citizenship and are between the ages of 18 and 59, you will be scheduled for the test. We will send you a “Notice to Appear for a Citizenship Test” telling you the date and time when you will be given your test. You may be given a written test or, in some circumstances, an interview. The citizenship test will determine if you can speak English or French well enough to become a Canadian citizen. It is also used to test your knowledge of Canada and the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship. If you are 60 or older, you do not have to write the test.
You may be scheduled to appear for an interview with a citizenship judge.
