Abstract
The comprehensive guide for Canadian citizenship was originally launched on November 12, 2009. In developing the original Discover Canada study guide, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) consulted with a panel of prominent Canadians, including public figures, authors and historians. It had also been reviewed by well-known organizations involved in citizenship promotion, such as the Historica-Dominion Institute, the Association of Francophone and Acadian Communities and the Institute for Canadian Citizenship.
Discover Canada is part of CIC's Citizenship Action Plan that aims to strengthen the value of Canadian citizenship, including combating residency and citizenship fraud, clarifying the language requirement for citizenship, and ongoing measures to strengthen the integrity of the citizenship knowledge test. The action plan has also resulted in enhancements to citizenship ceremonies and educational resources such as games in the Teacher and Youth Corner on the CIC website.
