Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

The Canadian coat of arms was adopted after which event?

1. The formation of the confederation

2. World War I

3. The independence of Canada

4. The French and Indian War

The correct answer is: World War I

The Canadian coat of arms was not adopted after the formation of the confederation (A) because this occurred in 1867, while the coat of arms was adopted in 1921. The independence of Canada (C) also cannot be the correct answer as Canada was already a self-governing dominion within the British Empire before the adoption of the coat of arms. The French and Indian War (D) is also not the correct answer as this conflict occurred in the 18th century, long before the Canadian coat of arms was adopted. World War I (B) is the correct answer as this event bolstered a sense of national identity and pride in Canada.
