Question: What is Canada's official national anthem?

Answer options:

  • God Save the King ✅ O Canada
  • The Maple Leaf Forever
  • Land of Hope and Glory

Correct answer: O Canada

Explanation: O Canada is the official national anthem of Canada, formally designated under the National Anthem Act in 1980. God Save the King is incorrect because it is Canada's royal anthem, performed in the presence of the sovereign. The Maple Leaf Forever is a popular historical song but was never officially adopted, and Land of Hope and Glory is a British patriotic song with no Canadian statutory status. The official guide emphasizes Canadian symbols, so distinguishing between the official national anthem and other patriotic or royal songs is essential preparation for scoring well on the citizenship exam.
