No, because we live in a Bilingual Country. Immigrants should be highly encouraged to learn either French or English
Yes, but we should also embrace the diversity of cultures and languages that they bring.
both they should be able to speck what they want and english
Learning English is very beneficial for immigrants in Canada. Therefore should be required to learn. The government should provide free courses to help these immigrants.

It would help them, as the majority of Canadians do speak English, but we also need to embrace diversity and other cultures, because it helps make us more tolerant of one another, and gives us a greater understanding of what other cultures of the world are like.
That or French. To be honest though, I don't see how an immigrant could live in this country for any amount of time and not eventually learn either English or French. I don't believe there needs to be any compulsion from the government, they will just learn the language(s) naturally in order to get by.
@93FG53G3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should also embrace the diversity of languages and culture that immigrants bring. It does wonders in making us a more tolerant and less-divisive society.
Yes, while also maintaining their cultural and linguistic diversity.
@8ZVMXF63yrs3Y
No, but if they are here to enter the workforce they should be provided with free language learning courses
@8Y62P5C3yrs3Y
No, but they should be given the option to enrol in free English or French classes
@8VTHNSL4yrs4Y
I think they should be required to learn the languages we have in our nation, both French and English. Our government should be able to provide free language learning courses dependent on the language.
@8VBDV4SNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, but the government should offer free ESL courses to all immigrants
No, because immigrants naturally starts speaking the language of their residency.
Not unless they are working in a job with the public that requires English to be used
Immigrants should have the ability to attend free English/French lessons
No, it would help them in a lot of communities, but we should also embrace the diversity of cultures that immigrants bring to this country.
No, the government does not need to force people as they will likely learn as they spend more time in Canada.
No, English is not the only official language of Canada
If English is the main language of that country then it would be beneficial for new immigrant to learn that language, but the government should provide free language learning courses.
Yes. Also I think there should be a greater push on French for all Canadians to in our education system.
Immigrants should be required to learn english and/or french. Those fluent in both languages should be given priority.
Canada is a bilingual country. Immigration should learn English OR French but not necessarily both.
@8MRPD4V4yrs4Y
Yes, but provide free language class & exempt seniors
English or French (if immigrating to Quebec)
It would help them, but we should also embrace multiculturalism and the opportunity we have to become more tolerant as a society towards different groups.
@8VVTGYB4yrs4Y
They should be required to learn one of our two official languages
Immigrants should be required to learn French and/or English
No, but it should be encouraged and made accessible.
The government should provide language learning courses to help immigrants learn either English or French.
