If you do not pass the citizenship test on your first try, then the Department of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship will schedule you for a second test. This second test will be about 4-8 weeks from your first test but could be longer.
If you fail the second attempt, then youÕll be asked to appear for a hearing before a citizenship officer. At this oral interview, the citizenship officer may assess whether you meet all the requirements and also:
test your knowledge of Canada and the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship;
ask questions about your residency in Canada; and/or
assess if you have adequate knowledge of English or French.Ó
If you do not pass the test after this third attempt, they will refuse your application. Of course, you are free to re-apply to try again at another time.
