Canada is divided in to 308 or 338 electoral districts --- Citizenship Test??

[myra20sharma]

Hello Experts!

I am really looking for an experience based answer here. I have searched the forum and I am seeing mixed responses - some people are saying that what Discover Canada is saying (308) should be considered. While others saying if option has 338 and 308 both - select 338.

Now I am worried and confused.

Is there anyone here who really got this question in their test and knows what to answer here?

This thread can really help people like myself. If you have got this question, please leave a reply.

Thanks in advance!

308 is the answer. Not given the test.. but I have been attending sessions with YMCA and they said similar thing for population though the population has increased since the time book was printed you have to choose 34 million only for population. So my guess is 308 per the book is the answer they expect

As rightly said by @angel1719, you go by the book not by the current reality. But I doubt they ever ask this question.

Just stick to what it says in the book.

Quote from above:
“Federal electoral district boundaries were last revised following the release of the 2011 Census population numbers, which had led to an increase in the number of House of Commons seats from 308 to 338. The representation order that confirmed the new boundaries was made official on October 5, 2013. It will be in effect for a federal general election called any time after May 1, 2014.”

Quote from above:
“The Constitution of Canada requires that federal electoral districts be reviewed after each decennial (10-year) census to reflect changes and movements in Canada's population. The current federal redistribution process began in October 2021……
You can view the maps of the 338 current electoral districts. Note that commissions were not required for Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and Yukon, because each territory is a single electoral district.”
