About Maple Citizen
Maple Citizen is an independent study tool that helps newcomers prepare for the Canadian citizenship test with confidence — covering every topic the exam can draw from, in a way that's easy to use and easy to remember.
What Maple Citizen is
Maple Citizen turns the Government of Canada's official study booklet, Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, into an interactive way to prepare for the citizenship knowledge test. The real test asks 20 questions drawn from Canada's history, geography, system of government, rights and responsibilities, symbols and more — and you need at least 15 correct to pass.
We organise all of that material into ten focused topics, with plain-language study notes, realistic practice questions and full-length timed mock tests. The goal is simple: you should always know what to study next, and exactly how close you are to being ready.
Why we built it
Preparing for citizenship shouldn't be stressful. A lot of study material is out of date, or simply reprints the booklet without helping you actually remember any of it. We built Maple Citizen to be comfortable to use on a phone during a commute and genuinely helpful — the kind of tool we'd have wanted ourselves.
What you can do on Maple Citizen
- Study ten topic modules drawn from Discover Canada, each with concise notes and key facts.
- Practice with realistic questions and instant explanations, so a wrong answer becomes a chance to learn.
- Take timed mock tests that mirror the real 20-question format and 75% pass mark.
- Review your mistakes in a personal mistake book that remembers every question you've missed.
- Track your progress with scores, streaks and a readiness picture that grows over time.
How we keep the content accurate
Our study notes are original summaries, written in our own words, from the facts published in Discover Canada — the official guide the citizenship test is based on. We focus on the things the test is built around: key dates, institutions, rights, responsibilities and national symbols. We do not publish the confidential official exam questions, which are not public, and we review our material against the current guide so it stays up to date as Canada's official information changes.
Who runs Maple Citizen
Maple Citizen is an independent project operated by Zongheng Tian, based in British Columbia, Canada. We're not a government service, and we can't help with personal immigration files — but we can help you walk into the knowledge test feeling prepared.
