What to Bring to Your Canadian Citizenship Test

Your test invitation lists specific documents you need. Missing documents can delay your citizenship process.

Required Documents

  • Your Permanent Resident Card (original)
  • Two pieces of government-issued ID (at least one with photo)
  • All passports and travel documents (current and expired)

What You Cannot Bring

  • Study notes or reference materials
  • Electronic devices (must be off and stored)
  • Food or drinks in the testing room

For Online Tests

You'll need a computer with webcam and microphone, stable internet, and a quiet private room. Learn more about the online format.

Tips

  • Organize documents the night before.
  • Bring originals, not copies.
  • Arrive 30 minutes early for in-person tests.

With documents ready, use remaining time for one final practice test.
