The question bank
Every chapter of the official study guide, covered
The official test draws on the study guide Discover Canada. MapleCivics organizes its 337 original questions into the same 10 topic areas, so you always know which chapter you are strengthening. All wording is our own — read the official guide itself, free on canada.ca.

How it helps
Built for steady, low-stress preparation
Many people preparing for the test are studying in their second (or third) language, around work and family. MapleCivics keeps every screen simple: short sessions, large readable type, and plain-English explanations for every single answer.
Practise chapter by chapter
Work through any of the 10 chapters at your own pace. Each answer shows a short explanation in original wording, so you learn the fact — not just the letter of the right option.
Timed mock tests in the real format
20 questions, 15 to pass, 30 minutes on the clock — balanced across all 10 chapters, the way the official knowledge test is structured. Finish, see your score against the pass mark, and know exactly where you stand.
A review deck that remembers your misses
Every question you get wrong goes into a review deck. Answer it correctly twice in a row and it retires — so your review time is always spent on what you actually find hard.
Flashcards for the fiddly facts
70 flashcards cover dates, names, capitals, and symbols — the small facts that slip away first. Filter by chapter and flip through them in spare minutes.
Streaks and per-chapter progress
A gentle study streak tracks the days you show up, and the progress screen shows how much of each chapter you have covered — useful for deciding what to study next.
A calm test-day briefing
A short built-in summary of the test format, who has to take it, and what to expect — including that applicants aged 18–54 must pass the knowledge test, while those 55 and over are exempt. Official rules live on canada.ca; the app reminds you to check them.
Made for where you live
Questions that know your province
The real test can ask about your region — your capital city, your Lieutenant Governor or Commissioner, your Member of Parliament. Pick your province or territory in MapleCivics and the app practises those with you.
For facts that change with elections — the Prime Minister, the Governor General, your premier, the party in power — the app lets you save the current answer yourself and points you to the official source (canada.ca, gg.ca, ourcommons.ca) to verify it. Nothing goes stale silently.

Frequently asked questions
MapleCivics is in development and will launch first on Google Play for Android. There is no confirmed release date yet — the badge on this page links to the developer's Google Play profile, and this site will be updated with a direct download link once the app is approved.
No. MapleCivics is an independent, unofficial study aid. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Government of Canada. Always confirm official test details on canada.ca.
The question bank contains 337 original practice questions organized into 10 chapters that follow the topics of the official study guide, plus 70 flashcards for quick recall practice. Every question comes with a short plain-English explanation.
The mock test uses the structure the official knowledge test is known for: 20 questions, a pass mark of 15 correct answers (75%), and a 30-minute timer, drawn evenly from all 10 chapters. It is a practice simulation only — the real test is administered by IRCC, and you should confirm the current format and rules on canada.ca.
No. All questions, answers, and explanations are written in original wording. They test the same facts covered in the official study guide, but no text is reproduced from it. Study the official guide itself on canada.ca alongside your practice.
No account is required. The full question bank, flashcards, and mock tests ship inside the app, and your progress, streak, and review deck are stored on your device.
No app can promise a pass. MapleCivics helps you practise the knowledge areas the test covers and shows you where you are weakest, but your result depends on your own preparation. Preparation decisions and official requirements should always be checked against canada.ca.
