Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government?

Yes; the test should be borderline impossible, and even passing the test should be no guarantee of entry. Immigrants should be required to be sponsored by a Canadian citizen, and that individual would assume 100% financially responsible for the burden of that person; never the taxpayer. If the immigrant commits a crime, they will be deported to face the law in their country, and the sponsoring Canadian would face prosecution and punishment here for their actions,.

No sponsoring Canadian willing to take the risk on you? No entry

Yes, but it should be a series of introductory lessons in culture, law and history. Not a test to be graded

Yes and it should be an extensive test. And there should be a 20 year probationary period where if you are found to have not fully assimilated then you should be deported. Canada is for Canadians, and for the British people from the British Isles and the French people from France who want to be Canadians.

Yes, But the focus should be on Language and Laws rather then history and government.

yes, but it should be a test with insightfull questions that any citizen could answer

language, manners, ethics, and intelligence

Yes, but focus on what is needed to live here...language, how the medical system works, how insurance works, etc.

No, we should implement yearly volunteer hours required and ways they can help Canada as well as being introduced to Canada.

Yes but more importantly, they should have to pass a test regarding our values and culture. They should want to embrace the Canadian way of life and not bring their troubles or anti woman beliefs from another country to our country.

they need to know how to speak english, conserve the outdoors as a sportsmans environment, and be progressively minded on things like drug and alcohol prohibition policy, also understanding the difference of their civil rights in canada vs their home country

Yes, but it should be on the safety requirements of our country, and if they don't pass on the other things, offer them help in the form of a guide to get them used to the country.

It's important new Canadian citizens have at least an elementary school knowledge on Canadian history and government.

Yes, I also think we need follow-ups, investigations on people claiming their sexuality as a reason refugee status who have families and are married to other sexed partners. We also need to be sure that immigration becomes a more supported process with audits, follow ups and assistance in integrating with our culture and laws. I relieve that they should also understand and be tested on our charter of rights, anti-discriminations laws, hateful speech and rhetoric, have criminal record checks, and ultimately be set up properly, to become contributing members of society.

Yes but it should have a strong emphasis on our colonial history and the experience of Indigenous bands.

Immigrants should not be a thing

I don’t think it should be a requirement to become a citizen but it should be highly recommended

It should be adjusted to the level that the average citizen could pass as well.

They should show and interest in the change between there country and Canada, not try to change Canada to be like the fourth the moved from

no, ban all immigrants

they should be fluent in english - and except all laws that may impede on their old ways.. there’s a reason you left your country keep you ideals there

Yes but this test would be biased so not valid in the eyes of true Canadians. Quit dumbing down our country and removing our core values and customs to bring in those from foreign countries.

Yes with this test the new immigrants should also embrace and be involved with the Aborigines Canadian community (reservations) to where they live.

Yes with this test the new immigrants should also embrace the Native Canadian community (reservations) to where they live.

no but they should be educated once they have entered the country

Yes, pertaining Canada's values and beliefs that uphold the societal social contract.

Yes, but it should cover the basic topics all Canadians need to know, not obscure details only relevant to part of the country. The study guide and test should be at a CLB 3-4 language level, and they should be allowed to do an oral test (more than once if necessary) if literacy is not required for citizenship.

Yes, but not the history of the country. It's also needed to learn English and government.

Immigrants should be required to pass a citizenship test that demonstrates a basic understanding of Canadian identity and nationalism; however, immigrants may be allowed in anyway provided they consider taking a government-funded program that teaches language and Canadian identity in an effective way to ensure they have the best experience in the country.

Yes, However test should only cover knowledge of basic laws, nationally accepted morals, and an official language. (English or French)

Yes, and the curriculum should be updated regularly

yes, but it should be a moral and value test not a Canadian history and language test. immigrants should be able to show understandings of values that we hold as Canadians.

Yes, and include that test in high school education for citizens. Raise the bar for citizens, don't lower it for immigrants.

No, not a test, but they should be educated on language and government and basic Charter things

Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding. And I personally feel they should by into fully being a Canadian while not expecting Canada to change laws to accommodate their ways from previous country of citizenship.
As a Canadian, I welcome anyone. But don’t like sometimes being uncomfortable in the country where I was born and raised.

They should do a test but only on the basic laws and how Canada works.

Yes, but only basic language skills
