@5C58T5P4yrs4Y
that is a stupid question what are you going to do deport a citizen if they fail the test
@5BT5HVR4yrs4Y
No. This is a stupid question. What happens if they are born in Canada and they fail? We shoot them on the spot? Stupid.
@5HX93R24yrs4Y
Yes and it should be taught more adamantly in schools
@B24MVPR2wks2W
Immigrants already have to pass a citizenship test when they become citizens. This question is retarded.
@B23B8DT2wks2W
they need to have a stable job and respect our countrys heritage in order to come to this country or else go back to where you come from
@9ZYVF3M3wks3W
Citizenship should test language and an understanding of the laws and basic history, also provide proof that they contribute to the country in work and/or community
@9ZTXY874wks4W
No, they should only be required to show that they are valuable to Canada and care about the country.
@9ZQ6XQX1mo1MO
No, we should implement yearly volunteer hours required and ways they can help Canada as well as being introduced to Canada.
