Question: Which province joined Canada most recently?
Answer options:
- Manitoba
- British Columbia ✅ Newfoundland and Labrador
- Alberta
Correct answer: Newfoundland and Labrador
Explanation: Newfoundland and Labrador is the correct answer because it joined Confederation as Canadas tenth province on March 31, 1949, making it the most recent province to join. Manitoba joined in 1870, British Columbia in 1871, and Alberta in 1905, which is why these options are incorrect. The underlying historical concept tested is the chronological expansion of Confederation as outlined in the official study guide. While Nunavut was created in 1999, it is a territory, not a province. For the citizenship exam, candidates must know the key dates and milestones of Canadian territorial expansion.
