Canadians' hearts may be brimming with pride on Canada Day weekend, but a new poll suggests their minds aren't full of the knowledge needed to pass a citizenship test
In a survey of 1,512Canadian adults, Leger found that only 23 per cent would pass the citizenship test, based on their answers to 10 randomly selected questions.
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. Only 29 per cent knew the Constitutional Act granted legislative assemblies elected by the people, and only 41 per cent knew that English settlement began in 1610.
Most Canadians were also in-the-know about the main groups of Indigenous Peoples in the country, with 79 per cent correctly identifying First Nations, Métis and Inuit.
