Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

By the 1960s, what proportion of Canadians had origins that were neither British nor French due to immigration?

1. 1/4

2. 1/3

3. 1/2

4. 2/3

The correct answer is: 1/3

In the 1960s, Canada was experiencing a significant influx of immigrants from different parts of the world, resulting in a more diverse population. While options A, C, and D all account for a significant proportion of the Canadian population, option B is the most accurate representation of the proportion of Canadians with origins that were neither British nor French. Option A (1/4) may seem plausible, but the number of non-British non-French Canadians was higher than just a quarter of the population. Option C (1/2) and D (2/3) are even further from the correct answer, as they imply that half or two-thirds of the population had non-British and non-French origins, which is a smaller proportion than the actual number. Therefore, B (1/3) is the most accurate answer for this question.
