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.
@8WNHTXHNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Why should they? People growing up in Canada need not do this, so why should immigrants?
@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.

Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding, and make sure that all citizens know what the test covers as well

Yes, but only if/when they are pursuing US citizenship or permanent residency
