In short
Every province and territory sets its own learner's test. Some publish the full format, such as British Columbia (50 questions, 40 to pass, 45 minutes) and Nova Scotia (two parts of 20, 16 to pass each). Others publish only a pass mark, or nothing about the number of questions. Where a figure isn't published, this site says so, and the app's practice test labels it as to be confirmed.

Some figures to be confirmedOne test, or several parts?
Several jurisdictions split the test and score each part on its own: Ontario (road signs, and rules of the road), Québec (three sections), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, the Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan (signs and rules), and Yukon (separate sign and knowledge tests). Others use a single test: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island. Nunavut's manual describes two parts, but the counts are not published, so the app keeps them together for now.
When parts are scored separately, a good total isn't enough: you need the pass mark in each part. That is why the app shows a result for every part.
Why not one Canadian question bank?
Many rules look alike across Canada, but the details that tests check often differ: licence classes and conditions, school bus and emergency vehicle rules, right turns on red, and how each jurisdiction words its signs. So each bank is written from its own handbook, for its own test.
