Only 23 per cent of Canadians would pass the citizenship test, based on answers to 10 randomly selected questions, Leger survey finds
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.
They need to score at least 75 per cent to pass, but the average score of the Canadians who were surveyed was only 49 per cent.The correct answers, for those struggling along with most survey respondents, are: a popular governor general, the French and Viola Desmond. They fared slightly better when it came to national symbols and influential people: 49 per cent knew that Marjorie Turner-Bailey is an Olympian and descendant of black loyalists, and 42 per cent recognized Canada’s motto, “From sea to sea.”
