Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

Who are Canada's three founding peoples?

1. Aboriginal, French and British

2. British, American and French

3. French, Spanish and Aboriginal

4. Aboriginal, Danish and British

The correct answer is: Aboriginal, French and British

Canada's three founding peoples are Aboriginal, French, and British. This is because Canada has a rich history of Indigenous peoples long before European arrival, and the British and French were the two main European powers who settled in and colonized the land. Option B is incorrect because while there were American influences in Canada, the founding peoples did not include Americans. Option C is incorrect because although the French were one of the founding peoples, the Spanish did not have a significant impact on Canada's history. Option D is incorrect because although the British were one of the founding peoples, the Danish did not play a significant role in Canada's early history.
