Prep priority

What we do not cover

No question bank matched to a department-run internal test

Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services runs its own internal testing rather than a published exam from a national provider. The format is not publicly available, so we have nothing tagged to it and cannot claim otherwise.

General practice in reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, mechanical aptitude and human-relations judgement still transfers, because those task types appear across firefighter written tests — but treat it as general preparation, not preparation for this specific test.

We have not established which written exam family this department uses, so we cannot give you a tailored count. Until it is confirmed, work through the full bank rather than assuming a format.

Physical requirements

York University Firefighter Fitness Assessment

Note
Mississauga does not use CPAT: the City schedules candidates for the York University firefighter fitness assessment, and there is also a swim test. Physical and medical assessments cost roughly $500 in total, paid by the candidate.

Questions candidates ask

Does Mississauga Fire and Emergency Services use CPAT?

No. Mississauga books you into the York University firefighter fitness assessment itself, and you must also pass a swim test and meet NFPA 1582 vision with normal unaided hearing. A CPAT or OFAI certificate does not replace these.

How far in advance should I start preparing?

Being test-ready and fitness-ready before a posting opens matters more than intense preparation after it opens.

Are the practice questions here real exam questions?

No. Every question is original training content written to reflect common recruitment task types. No legitimate provider has access to live exam material.
