@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
@B46V7MR1wk1W
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
@B45XZ6W1wk1W
Yes, but we should base the test on their impact to society and their ability to integrate into society
@B45BC942wks2W
Yes, but focus on what is needed to live here...language, how the medical system works, how insurance works, etc.
@B44F3352wks2W
I think that immigrants should be required to pass a citizenship test, but the test should consist of things that the average, educated Canadian would be able to understand and pass as well.
@B43S4G82wks2W
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.
