Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

What are the Canadian Rangers tasked with?

1. Protecting wildlife

2. Maintaining national parks

3. Security and sovereignty in the North

4. Public relations for the military

The correct answer is: Security and sovereignty in the North

The Canadian Rangers are a sub-component of the Canadian Armed Forces and their primary role is to serve as a presence in the northern and isolated regions of Canada. They are tasked with providing surveillance and reporting suspicious activities, assisting with search and rescue operations, and conducting patrols to maintain Canada's sovereignty and security in the North. This role is essential in protecting Canada's Arctic territories and maintaining a strong presence in the region. While protecting wildlife and maintaining national parks may be important tasks in Canada, they fall under the responsibility of other organizations, such as Parks Canada. Similarly, public relations for the military is not the primary task of the Canadian Rangers and it falls under the responsibility of the Department of National Defence's Public Affairs Branch.
