Canadians' hearts may be brimming with pride as Canada Day approaches, but a new poll suggests their minds aren't full of the knowledge needed to pass a citizenship test.

If you are curious about how you would do on a citizenship test, the Richmond Public Library has practice tests that you can try your luck on.

You can find the practice test here: https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/

I passed, but this is the question I got wrong:

  1. What is the name of the Mayor of Richmond, British Columbia?

I feel like this is kind of a wildly specific question for a test like this, haha.

I took a different one and got 60%. I'd say that's not horrible given that I never had a Canadian education and grew up almost entirely in the US. One about the voters' list is weird. Can someone who will not be 18 on election day get on the voters' list? I would assume only eligible voters could be on the voters' list (which could include people who recently lost eligibility, I guess).
