The Canadian Citizenship test contains 20 questions which must be completed in 30 minutes or less. To pass the test applicants must answer 15 questions correctly. 80% of test takers currently pass the test.
@5BT5HVR3yrs3Y
No. This is a stupid question. What happens if they are born in Canada and they fail? We shoot them on the spot? Stupid.
@5C58T5P3yrs3Y
that is a stupid question what are you going to do deport a citizen if they fail the test
@5HX93R23yrs3Y
Yes and it should be taught more adamantly in schools
@9L8JRVWBloc Québécois3wks3W
Yes, but it should also ask questions which would speak about the individual and their perspectives, if they will be a functioning citizen, etc.
@9L44YYD4wks4W
Citizenship tests should include questions on values, stances and beliefs of people which could prove detrimental to the interests of Canada in the long run.
@9JXFF3P2mos2MO
No, but offer educating for immigrants for the language, history and government arent very important.
@Joshua-Thoreson 6mos6MO
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.
@9FT9JTL7mos7MO
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.
@9DB86MG8mos8MO
Yes, but it should also cover topics about morals and values
@9D9Z2TQ8mos8MO
Yes, but only if the federal government provides funding for education for them to pass.
@9D2GQV99mos9MO
Yes, and Canadian born citizens should have to pass it too before being granted the right to vote.
@9CPHKCS9mos9MO
Yes, only if they plan to vote since this means they have an understanding of our government and want to contribute. If they only plan to live here for a short period of time (not hoping to become a citizen), this is not necessary.
@9CN4DVX9mos9MO
Yes, but only with minimal questions, and things that would be needed in everyday life.
@9C8YBHH11mos11MO
No, not a test, but they should be educated on language and government and basic Charter things
@9C4XQMM11mos11MO
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.
@8VCYZ58New Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, and must be completed within 10 years. The test should also be reflective of the age of the person taking the test
@9GZ8BL3New Democratic5mos5MO
Yes, but the test should come 1 year after living in Canad to prove that they are a contributing member of society.
@9GVB54X5mos5MO
Yes; language, government, driving/traffic law, social/societal norms, and basic responsibilities of citizenship - each province or district can have an amendment to the federal test
@9FRKFKN7mos7MO
Yes, but should also be in their home language (English with their language under it) this would help with comprehension.
@9FN75NHNew Democratic7mos7MO
@9FJSRV97mos7MO
Only language testing, and no barring entry if they fail as long as they're willing to participate in a government funded language training program
@9F5KMPV7mos7MO
It's important new Canadian citizens have at least an elementary school knowledge on Canadian history and government.
@9DSKY3QNew Democratic8mos8MO
A rigorous test outlining the freedoms and secularization of the state, history, traditions, and customs of Canada.
@9BWMH4B11mos11MO
It is essential for every immigrant to qualify, the government's required criteria for getting citizenship. As in recent years conflict around the globe has brought diverse refugee and their traditions. To keep law and order in the country to prevent future conflicts.
@9BRNCGJ12mos12MO
Immigrants should not be a thing
@9B55SJD1yr1Y
If they are planning on staying a while
@986CKVQ1yr1Y
Yes, only if they are applying for citizenship.
@982MQGM1yr1Y
yes, but it should be a test with insightfull questions that any citizen could answer
language, manners, ethics, and intelligence
@96RWFKC1yr1Y
Yes, but take out the historical component. Language, laws, culture, done.
@95J3CD8New Democratic2yrs2Y
No, just the basics like who the prime minister is and the basic laws.
@93242FF2yrs2Y
I think the current test should be modified. Anyone can pass it with little studying.
@8Y85WN92yrs2Y
It should be adjusted to the level that the average citizen could pass as well.
@8X452LT2yrs2Y
Yes but not the current test, it should be easier, a test that normal canadien citizens actually know
@8WY33XR2yrs2Y
Immigrants should be provided with the tools required to succeed rather than a test
Yes, and for citizens too
@8VVPWGC3yrs3Y
Yes, but minimal understanding of language and basic laws only.
@8VTS2BW3yrs3Y
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
@8VQ8PRW3yrs3Y
@8VQ56Q73yrs3Y
Should only be for language and government, history should not be included (should also be required for the citizens themselves.)
@8VN22QD3yrs3Y
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
@8VKNNBW3yrs3Y
It should be revised to reflect today, and should be given to all not just immigrants
@8VKBZPC3yrs3Y
Eventually not right away
@8VK592K3yrs3Y
@8VJB7833yrs3Y
Just a test to show they understand our government and laws.
@8VH294R3yrs3Y
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 adopt to our way of life
@8VBFZBC3yrs3Y
Yes. Basic unless they are applying for citizenship. But must include at least basic First Nations issues and history.
