Quick Answer

Our pick is canadatest.ca (our product). It has a free 10-question practice test with no signup and an explanation for every answer, and a published Pass Guarantee: buy a 7-Day or 90-Day Pass, take the official test and don't pass, and you choose a full refund or a free 30-day extension (conditions in our Terms).

You also get:

• chapters 1–3 of the study material, free to read without an account;

The options compared

We compare six options: canadatest.ca first, as our pick, then the other five in alphabetical order, then IRCC's own study questions. Where we couldn't confirm a feature on the product's own pages, the cell says "Not verified". If you're choosing on a "Not verified" cell, check it on their site before you pay.

What you get free, and the guarantee

Price, platforms and extras

Our pick: canadatest.ca

canadatest.ca is our product and our pick, for these features from the tables above:

• A free practice test with no signup. The free practice test has 10 questions from across the chapters, a score with a chapter-by-chapter breakdown, and an explanation for every answer. No email, no card.
• Study chapters you can read for free. Chapters 1–3 (The Oath of Citizenship, Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, Who We Are) are free to read without an account. A free account adds their flashcards and chapter quizzes.
• A Pass Guarantee with published terms. If you buy a 7-Day or 90-Day Pass, take the official citizenship test and don't pass, you choose a full refund or a free 30-day extension. Email us within 30 days of your test date. The conditions are in our Terms of Service: the pass must be bought before your test date, and the test must be within 120 days of the purchase. There's also a 24-hour money-back guarantee.
• One-time prices. $9.99 for 7 days or $39.99 for 90 days, in Canadian dollars, and nothing renews. See the passes.
• Free tools for newcomers. The physical presence calculator, application fee estimator, language equivalency checker, health coverage picker and more tools are free and need no account.
• Web and Android. The Android app on Google Play uses the same account as the website, so your progress and pass carry over. Chapters, flashcards and chapter quizzes work offline once downloaded.
• Questions based on the guide. In October 2026 we re-aligned Chapter 1's text and questions with Discover Canada, and checked every question in chapters 2–11 against the guide: we fixed the three it contradicted and the 13 with a second defensible answer. Some chapters carry editor's notes where a figure in the guide has changed (ridings, G8→G7, NAFTA→CUSMA, British Columbia's population).

Where it isn't the right choice

• No iPhone app. canadatest is on the web and on Android in Canada. On an iPhone, use the website in your browser.
• English only. There's no French version.
• 300 questions. The other paid options advertise 600 to 780 or more.
• No audio narration.
• Not the lowest price for a week. CitizenPass Pro costs $4.99 a week (a subscription that renews until you cancel), and canadiancitizenshiptests.ca sells 7 days for $5.99 (its page doesn't say whether it renews, and states no currency). Our 7-Day Pass is $9.99.

canadiancitizenshiptests.ca

• Free: practice tests you can take without an account, with ads on the page (a free practice test; "All our practice test questions can be tried free of cost", its practice page).
• Premium: $5.99 for 7 days, $14.99 for 30 days or $19.99 for a year, each shown as "Today 50% off"; the page states no currency. Premium advertises 780+ questions and explanations (Premium page).
• Pass guarantee: every Premium tier shows a "100% Pass Guarantee" badge. Its Terms and Conditions publish no conditions for it, say it does not guarantee that you will pass, and say a refund "can be considered in case of failure or processing errors".

Good fit if you want free practice tests now and a low-cost paid week later.

CitizenPass

• Free, no signup: 20 sample questions, each with its answer and an explanation. On the web, a free account unlocks 600+ questions, chapter quizzes and unlimited timed mock exams (practice-test page); its Google Play listing describes the free tier as 20 lessons, 100 questions and 3 mock tests. Its study guide page has a free summary of every chapter.
• Pro (a subscription): its Terms list $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $24.99 a year (CAD), and the same three prices appear in Canada's App Store and on Google Play, which adds a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. Its practice-test page quotes $4.99 a week or $29.99 a year (no currency stated).
• Apps: iOS and Android, plus the website.
• Audio and French: lessons, questions and tests in English and French; audio narration in both languages is a Pro feature (Google Play: "CitizenPass Pro includes … Premium audio narration EN & FR").
• Ads: the free tier carries ads (Google Play: "Contains ads"; the App Store listing: "Free version now supported by Google ads"; on the web, ad-free practice is a Pro feature).
• Also: a guide to checking your IRCC application status.
• Pass guarantee: none found. Its Terms say it doesn't guarantee "that it will result in passing the citizenship test". Web purchases can be refunded within 7 days; app store purchases follow Apple's or Google's refund policy.

Good fit if you want a phone app on iPhone, or French and audio and you're fine with a subscription. If you subscribe, cancel when you're done so it doesn't renew.

CitizenTest.ca

• Pass guarantee ("Pass Protection", 100% money back): its Terms and Conditions (section 4.0) publish the conditions, including: the plan must include it; you must complete their guided preparation program, fail the official test and give official proof, and email them; they review each claim at their discretion.
• Practice tests: its homepage lists a diagnostic test and practice tests. Whether they're free or need an account is not verified.
• Also: an application tracker and a physical presence calculator.

Good fit if you want audio lessons and French in a one-time purchase.

Practicecanadiancitizenshiptest.ca

• Free, no registration: "No registration or login is required" (homepage), with explanations for each answer and 500+ questions advertised. The page carries ads, and we found no paid tier.

Good fit if you want French and a short paid pass, including a 3-day option.

IRCC's own study questions

There is no official 20-question practice test. The Government of Canada's study questions page in Discover Canada has 3 sample multiple-choice questions with an answer key, plus a list of open-ended questions you answer from the guide. Nothing is timed or scored.

• Strengths: it's official, free and in English and French, and the open-ended list shows what IRCC thinks is worth knowing. The guide also has an MP3 audio edition.
• Limits: three sample questions isn't a practice test, and the open-ended questions have no published answers.

Read the open-ended list to see what IRCC expects you to know, then do your timed practice somewhere else.

Corrections

October 22, 2026: rewritten. canadatest.ca is now ranked first as our pick, and the other options are listed in alphabetical order. We re-checked every claim on each product's own pages and removed opinions we couldn't back with a link. Two corrections to our September version: CitizenTest.ca publishes conditions for its "Pass Protection" in its terms (in September we hadn't checked them), and CitizenPass's terms list Pro at $24.99 a year (its practice-test page says $29.99).

September 10, 2026: what changed since the June check, including three of my own errors. In June I recorded canadiancitizenshiptests.ca as simply "free". It isn't: it sells a 7-day pass at $5.99, a 30-day at $14.99 and a year at $19.99, with a "100% Pass Guarantee" badge on all three. I had only looked at their homepage. That matters beyond one row, and I've rewritten the price claims further down this page accordingly — canadatest is no longer the cheapest paid entry point here. I also had CitizenPass's French support down as "No" (it has a French site and bilingual app content) and its free tier described as the full pool with no signup (it's 20 sample questions with no account; the 600+ pool needs a free account, and audio is a paid Pro feature, not free). And the row I used to call "IRCC's own free 20-question test" was never that: IRCC publishes 3 sample multiple-choice questions with answers plus a set of open-ended study questions — there is no official 20-question practice test. CitizenTest.ca's and TestCitizenship.ca's prices are unchanged. Where I could not re-confirm a claim this time, the cell says "Not verified" rather than carrying a June check forward as fact.

Competitor prices and features change. If you spot something that's no longer accurate, email support@canadatest.ca and we'll update it.
