Need a hand with True North? Most answers are below. If you are still stuck, email support@lokotechnologies.ca and we will help.

Getting started

  • Study browses the material by topic, following the eleven chapters of the official Discover Canada guide, with notes and a searchable reference of key dates and people.
  • Practice and Mock Exam test you. The mock mirrors the real format: 20 questions, about 30 minutes, 15 of 20 (75%) to pass.
  • Progress shows how ready you are and which chapters still need work.
  • Pick your province in Settings so the province-specific questions (capital, premier, lieutenant governor, local representative) match where you live, which is what the real test asks about.
  • Large text (Dynamic Type) and VoiceOver are supported throughout, which matters if you are studying in a second language.

Is this official? Is it accurate?

  • True North is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with the Government of Canada or IRCC, and it is not legal or immigration advice. We link the government's own resources from inside the app and encourage you to read the official guide too.
  • Accuracy is the whole point. Every question is grounded in Discover Canada, written and checked by a person, and never AI-generated. Each answer names the part of the guide it comes from.
  • The real test scores to the published guide, so our answers stay faithful to it even in the few places where the guide is now out of date. There we add a short editor's note explaining what has changed in the real world (for example court names or trade-deal names) without changing the answer the test expects. The facts that genuinely move, such as the Oath and current office-holders, are re-verified before every release.

Free vs. Pro

True North is complete for free: the full question bank of 724 questions across all eleven chapters, study by topic, a key-dates cram sheet, a core Who's Who reference, flashcards, and a mock exam every day. You can prepare and pass without paying.

Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription, no ads, ever) that adds the confidence layer:

  • Unlimited timed mock exams, where free gets one a day
  • Spaced-repetition drilling on your weak areas, plus scheduled flashcards
  • A readiness score
  • The full 87-date Key Dates timeline and all 154 Who's Who profiles
  • Province-specific packs and current office-holders

Buying and restoring Pro

  • To unlock Pro: tap any Pro feature, or open Settings → Pro → Unlock Pro, then complete the purchase through the App Store.
  • To restore a purchase on a new device or after reinstalling: use Restore Purchase in the unlock sheet, or in Settings. Pro is tied to your Apple ID, so it restores when you are signed in with the same account.
  • Purchase problems or refunds:purchases are processed by Apple. For billing issues or refund requests, use Apple's Report a Problem page. We are happy to help troubleshoot the unlock itself.

Common questions

Does it need the internet?

No. Everything works offline: the question bank ships inside the app, and there is no server to talk to.

Does it collect my data?

No. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking, and your progress stays on your device. See our Privacy Policy.

Which test does it cover?

The Canadian citizenship knowledge test, taken by applicants aged 18 to 54. True North is a practice pool covering the content of the official guide. It is not a copy of the confidential real exam.

My progress disappeared, or I want to start over.

Progress is stored on your device, so reinstalling the app clears it. You can also reset it deliberately in Settings. Pro itself is never lost: use Restore Purchase.

I think an answer is wrong.

Please tell us, and include the question. Answers follow the published guide even where the guide has fallen behind current events, because that is what the test scores, and those places carry an editor's note explaining the difference. If we have got one wrong, we will fix it and say so.
