Adult Information Services has compiled this list of names of federal, provinicial, and municipal representatives for the citizenship test. Please note that the names provided are for Richmond Hill residents only. If you live in another community, you have different local representatives. Go to the Web site for Elections Canada at www.elections.ca to find your Federal Member of Parliament and Elections Ontario www.electionsontario.on.ca for your Member of Provincial Parliament.
Most of the information that you need to answer the questions on your test is in the book A Look at Canada. You received a copy of the book when you applied for citizenship. An online copy is also available from the Citizenship & Immigration Canada Web site at www.cic.gc.ca.
To practice, try an online test at www.tpl.toronto.on.ca/mul_ser_citizenship_test.jsp or www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/index.asp. Remember that these are tests for other communities and will have local representatives that are different than those representing Richmond Hill.
