No. This is a stupid question. What happens if they are born in Canada and they fail? We shoot them on the spot? Stupid.
@B43S4G83wks3W
Yes, but only if they cannot prove equivalent education on the function and role of government, history, etc. from an educational institution like school or university, college, etc. However understanding of English or French should not be a heavy weighted requirement unless they intend to practice a trade or skill that relies on specific communication with those who speak these official languages.
@B295JCP3mos3MO
Yes, but only for language wherever they are going in the country, whether that be English or French.
@9WYDMSD6mos6MO
No, but we should require a test to determine if someone shares the same values as we do in regards to minority rights, lgbt rights and womens rights, who know that rape and pedophilia is wrong. if they cant grasp our values we should send them right back from where they came.
@9W7GJFM6mos6MO
yes, but they should do a basic knowledge and skill test not about knowledge of the countries history.
@Joshua-Thoreson 1yr1Y
All Canadian citizens should be required once every 10-20 years to conduct a citizenship test as many of our own citizens are completely unaware about important things in our country.
@9B55SJD2yrs2Y
If they are planning on staying a while
@95J3CD8New Democratic3yrs3Y
No, just the basics like who the prime minister is and the basic laws.
@93242FF3yrs3Y
I think the current test should be modified. Anyone can pass it with little studying.
@8ZM4Q6D3yrs3Y
Depending on the circumstance, if it's an emergency or dire situation with individuals who lack basic knowledge, should be investigated before consideration. Otherwise, acceptance should be allowed for those who willingly put time into thinking about immigrating and passed the test.
@8VKBZPC4yrs4Y
Eventually not right away
@8VH294R4yrs4Y
I think immigrants should be required to pass a citizenship test but before that happens I think it should be on citizens to answer the questions, so we know that citizens could do it. We don’t want to give immigrants a citizenship test that people living in Canada can’t answer.
Yes, and mandate the test for citizens.
@8V8L4X34yrs4Y
Yes, more understanding and reflect Canadian values.
@9ZK3JNS5mos5MO
No but they should be required to be tested on their morality and principals especially in regards to womens rights and autonomy.
