Travis points to a Canadian Citizenship practice test. I got 9 out of 10, so hopefully they’d let me stay. Here are a couple of sample questions:
When did the British North America Act come into effect?
a. 1871
b. 1898
c. 1867
d. 1905How many electoral districts are there in Canada?
a. 20
b. 308
c. 178
d. 59
Those are two of the harder ones, I’d say.
I just did 25 questions on 3 tests, 3 pefect scores. I don’t really know that much about the history of Canada, but it seems that these tests are a little off the mark. Is it really useful for a new citizen to know the three major industries that spurred growth in Atlantic Canada many years ago?

Rocky If you compare this to the U.S. Citizenship Test (http://www.emints.org/ethemes/resources/S00001229.shtml) Canada is a bit more selective. Of course, my opinion is subjective. But seriously, so many other countries have much more strict rules about immigration than the U.S. Personally? I think anyone should be let to live where they live. Practically? We don’t live in that world anyomore and all the flag-waving protests in the world aren’t going to help you unless you go the legal route. I’m just saying…

Rocky P.S. I’d never be approved for Canada. People say “….and Canada, you know” and my brain says “ohhhhh…maple leaves.” So I guess I’ll stay here and deal with the issue. ;)
