Citizenship Test Prep for Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan became a province in 1905, carved out of the Northwest Territories at the same time as Alberta. Regina is the provincial capital, historically the headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police training academy, while Saskatoon is the largest city. The province's economy is built on agriculture, especially wheat and other grains, alongside potash and uranium mining and, more recently, oil and gas. Saskatchewan is one of only two landlocked provinces (with Alberta) and is known for its vast, flat prairie landscape. The premier is Scott Moe.

What Discover Canada says about Saskatchewan

Discover Canada lists Saskatchewan among the Prairie Provinces. The guide says it was once known as the breadbasket of the world and the wheat province, that it holds a large share of the arable land in Canada, and that it produces grains and oilseeds. It also mentions deposits of uranium and potash, which is used in fertilizer, as well as oil and natural gas. Regina, the capital, is home to the training academy of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Saskatoon is described as the headquarters of the mining industry and an educational, research and technology centre. The history chapter connects the province to the Métis story: a second rebellion in 1885 took place in present-day Saskatchewan and led to the trial and execution of Louis Riel. After the first Métis uprising, the North West Mounted Police were created in 1873, and Regina became their headquarters. The guide lists Alberta and Saskatchewan as joining Canada in 1905, and its beaver section notes that the beaver appears on the coat of arms of Saskatchewan.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Canadian citizenship test differ in Saskatchewan?

Not in its format. The Canadian citizenship test is a single national test administered by IRCC, with the same format everywhere. All questions are based on Discover Canada, which also asks you to know your own province or territory, such as Saskatchewan's capital and premier. IRCC does not say how many questions are about your province or territory. What differs by province is also the practical process, since Saskatchewan is where you will have lived to meet the physical presence requirement.

What is Saskatchewan's capital?

Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan.

When did Saskatchewan join Confederation?

Saskatchewan joined Confederation in 1905.
