yes, but it should be a test with insightfull questions that any citizen could answer
Yes, but the test should come 1 year after living in Canad to prove that they are a contributing member of society.
@9FRKFKN2yrs2Y
Yes, but should also be in their home language (English with their language under it) this would help with comprehension.
@9FJSRV92yrs2Y
Only language testing, and no barring entry if they fail as long as they're willing to participate in a government funded language training program
@9DSKY3QNew Democratic2yrs2Y
A rigorous test outlining the freedoms and secularization of the state, history, traditions, and customs of Canada.
@95J3CD8New Democratic3yrs3Y
No, just the basics like who the prime minister is and the basic laws.
@9464BX6New Democratic3yrs3Y
yes, wait several years to learn our culture and then take it
@8YTMH69New Democratic3yrs3Y
Only to acquire citizenship
@8VCYZ58New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, and must be completed within 10 years. The test should also be reflective of the age of the person taking the test
@8TYYJTRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No this is a waste of money and time. Citizenship should be given with objective reading about what our history looks like.
@8TR6RYT4yrs4Y
Yes, but for language only - solely so that they can actually get by independently and be able to obtain employment
@8QX2HL84yrs4Y
No, it should be a recommendation though.
@9CPHKCS2yrs2Y
Yes, only if they plan to vote since this means they have an understanding of our government and want to contribute. If they only plan to live here for a short period of time (not hoping to become a citizen), this is not necessary.
@8WNHTXHNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Why should they? People growing up in Canada need not do this, so why should immigrants?
Yes, and mandate the test for citizens.
@8V9NNNRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, provide a course in their language so they can feel best prepared for life in Canada/Turtle Island.
@8V8LQD4New Democratic4yrs4Y
No because we have been convince that the current education system is teaching our true culture and history to our youth. Who would be the one to validate the answers to the questions asked in a non patisan manner.
@8V7CBJQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
sure if people born here can pass the same test.
