No. This is a stupid question. What happens if they are born in Canada and they fail? We shoot them on the spot? Stupid.

 @5C58T5Pfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

that is a stupid question what are you going to do deport a citizen if they fail the test

 @9L8JRVWBloc Québécoisfrom Ontario answered…3wks3W

Yes, but it should also ask questions which would speak about the individual and their perspectives, if they will be a functioning citizen, etc.

 @9L44YYDanswered…4wks4W

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.

 @9JXFF3Pfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

No, but offer educating for immigrants for the language, history and government arent very important.

  @Joshua-Thoreson from British Columbia answered…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.

 @9FT9JTLfrom Alberta answered…7mos7MO

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.

 @9DB86MGfrom Ontario answered…8mos8MO

 @9D9Z2TQfrom Manitoba answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but only if the federal government provides funding for education for them to pass.

 @9D2GQV9from Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Yes, and Canadian born citizens should have to pass it too before being granted the right to vote.

 @9CPHKCSfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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.

 @9CN4DVXfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but only with minimal questions, and things that would be needed in everyday life.

 @9C8YBHHfrom Alberta answered…11mos11MO

No, not a test, but they should be educated on language and government and basic Charter things

 @9C4XQMMfrom Alberta answered…11mos11MO

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 Democraticfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and must be completed within 10 years. The test should also be reflective of the age of the person taking the test

 @9GZ8BL3New Democraticfrom Ontario answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but the test should come 1 year after living in Canad to prove that they are a contributing member of society.

 @9GVB54Xfrom Ontario answered…5mos5MO

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

 @9FRKFKNfrom Ontario answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but should also be in their home language (English with their language under it) this would help with comprehension.

 @9FJSRV9from Ontario answered…7mos7MO

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

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta answered…7mos7MO

It's important new Canadian citizens have at least an elementary school knowledge on Canadian history and government.

 @9DSKY3QNew Democraticfrom Ontario answered…8mos8MO

A rigorous test outlining the freedoms and secularization of the state, history, traditions, and customs of Canada.

 @9BWMH4Bfrom Ontario answered…11mos11MO

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.

 @9B55SJDfrom British Columbia answered…1yr1Y

 @986CKVQfrom Ontario answered…1yr1Y

 @982MQGMfrom Alberta answered…1yr1Y

yes, but it should be a test with insightfull questions that any citizen could answer

 @96RWFKCfrom Manitoba answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but take out the historical component. Language, laws, culture, done.

 @95J3CD8New Democraticfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

 @93242FFfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

I think the current test should be modified. Anyone can pass it with little studying.

 @8Y85WN9from Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

It should be adjusted to the level that the average citizen could pass as well.

 @8X452LTfrom Manitoba answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but not the current test, it should be easier, a test that normal canadien citizens actually know

 @8WY33XRfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

Immigrants should be provided with the tools required to succeed rather than a test

 @8VVPWGCfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VTS2BWfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8VQ56Q7from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Should only be for language and government, history should not be included (should also be required for the citizens themselves.)

 @8VN22QDfrom Alberta answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8VKNNBWfrom Quebec answered…3yrs3Y

It should be revised to reflect today, and should be given to all not just immigrants

 @8VJB783from Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VH294Rfrom British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @8VBFZBCfrom Ontario answered…3yrs3Y

Yes. Basic unless they are applying for citizenship. But must include at least basic First Nations issues and history.
