Canada Civics Practice

Read, recall, practise

Discover Canada study plan

Discover Canada is IRCC’s official study guide. Use these four sessions to organise your reading, not as a replacement for the full guide.

  1. Rights, responsibilities and people

    Explain the difference between a right and a civic responsibility. Then identify the distinct Indigenous peoples discussed in the guide.

  2. History and symbols

    Create a short timeline starting with Confederation. Next, connect two national symbols to the events or traditions they represent.

  3. Government, elections and justice

    Explain who a riding elects, what the elected chamber does, and how a secret ballot protects voters. Then check your understanding of the presumption of innocence.

  4. Regions and the economy

    Group the provinces and territories by region on a blank map, then name one example each of a service industry, a manufacturing industry, and a natural resources industry.

Check what stuck

Try the mock test without opening the guide. Use the results to pick your weakest topic, reread that chapter, then explain what you learned from memory.
