Rights and responsibilitiesNot started
In the Oath of Citizenship, new citizens promise to be loyal to whom?
- AThe Canadian flag and the Constitution
- BThe Governor General and the provincial premiers
- CThe Prime Minister and the federal Cabinet
- DKing Charles the Third, King of Canada, and his heirs and successors
Show the answer
The answer is D: King Charles the Third, King of Canada, and his heirs and successors.
New citizens promise to be faithful and loyal to King Charles the Third, King of Canada, and to his heirs and successors, meaning the kings and queens who follow him. In Canada, loyalty is pledged to the Sovereign, a person who represents every Canadian, and not to a flag or a document.

Is this an official IRCC app?
No. CitizenCA is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or representing the Government of Canada or IRCC. Every answer links to the official guide on canada.ca, so you can check it there.
Where do the questions come from?
From Discover Canada, the official study guide that IRCC publishes. We wrote every question, note and card in our own words from its facts, and checked them against IRCC’s current pages, which are newer than the 2012 print edition.
They are not the questions used in the real test, but they cover the same guide.
Is the test still 30 minutes?
No. IRCC’s page now gives you 45 minutes for 20 questions. Some older pages and apps still say 30.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The questions, notes and practice tests are on your phone, so you can study without a connection. You need one to buy Pro, to sync or to ask a question in your own words.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is optional and only syncs your progress between devices. You can delete it at any time.
Is it in my language?
The questions and the app are in English, as the test is. Every explanation and lesson can also show in French, Punjabi, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish or Tagalog, under the English. They’re translated with AI and checked against the English for every fact and number; until someone who speaks the language has reviewed one, the app says it was translated by AI. You can take the real test in English or French.
