Citizenship Test Practice
Who We Are Practice Questions
This chapter asks a big question in a warm way. Who are Canadians and where did their families come from and what values do they share. The test may ask you to name the three founding peoples or to say who the Acadians are or what multiculturalism means or which languages Canadians speak at home. The names and groups can blur together at first until you learn how each group fits into the story.
The good news is that this chapter follows a clear and kind idea. Canada was built by many peoples who learned to live together while keeping their own cultures and languages and faiths. When you practice a little at a time and see the right answer right away, the founding peoples and the two main language groups and the shared values begin to stay in your mind. That is exactly what this practice set is built to do.

Each round gives you 20 questions drawn at random from the full bank of 34 Who We Are questions in the course Joy teaches. Pick an answer and you will see at once whether you were right, along with a short note that helps the fact stick. Take as many rounds as you like. Each new round brings a fresh mix, so repeat rounds keep teaching you new facts about the peoples and values of Canada.
On the real test you need at least 75 percent of your answers right to pass. Aim to pass every round on this page before your test day, and the Who We Are questions on the real test will feel familiar.
Ready when you are. Your first round pulls 20 questions from the Who We Are bank of 34 questions.
Who Canadians are in brief
Keep this short outline in mind while you practice. Every question in the set belongs somewhere in this picture of Canada.
- Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. Its institutions uphold a commitment to Peace and Order and Good Government.
- The three founding peoples of Canada are the Aboriginal peoples and the French and the British.
- Aboriginal peoples include First Nations and Inuit and Métis peoples. Their ancestors are believed to have come from Asia many thousands of years ago.
- About half of First Nations people live on reserves in more than 600 communities. The word Inuit means the people in Inuktitut.
- Métis are a distinct people with mixed Indigenous and European ancestry. Their traditional language is called Michif.
- The Acadians are descendants of French settlers who came to the Atlantic region in the early 1600s.
- About 18 million Canadians speak English and about 7 million speak French. Most Francophones live in Quebec and New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province.
- Quebecers are the people of Quebec. Most speak French and work to keep their language and culture strong.
- People in Canada follow many religions. Most Canadians are Christian and Catholics are the largest single group.
- Canada protects the right of people to keep their own cultures while taking part in Canadian life. This idea is called multiculturalism and Canadians value equality and freedom and peace and respect for cultural differences and law and order.
