Yes, current legal immigrants should be required to learn fluent english, french , and spanish

My preference would be a complete halt to immigration and the reallocation of immigration-related funding to be used instead to pay Canadian families to have children at above replacement rate. I would need to see data comparing the effective contributions of immigrants of European/English decent, vs. non-English speaking arrivals, as well as some sense of the undoubtedly large cultural cost to increased diversity, in order to accurately assess this question. My preference would be to reject anyone outright who did not have significant cultural overlap with the founders of this country, meaning French or English would be one of may bare minimum expectations for immigrating. What little remains of the cultural identity of Canada (going back as recently as the 1990s) lies festering and we cannot afford any more progressive colonization

Yes, they should be required to learn English or French. The government should also provide free language learning courses.
@B3YW9622wks2W
No, there should never be any immigrants in Canada that aren’t from Britain or France, aren’t ethnically British or French, and don’t know English or French.
@9L8JRVW12mos12MO
Yes, but not legally? Like they wouldn't get fined or something if they don't learn it, but if they want to be functioning members of society they are expected to.
@9L4XKWX1yr1Y
I feel like they should learn English or French, but only to help them with their communication in the country. Not to remove their sense of where they came from in their language. It would only be to help the communications in the country for everybody's benefits.
@9KTFCM71yr1Y
No, but the government should provide and heavily encourage the use of free language learning courses.
@9KNV289 1yr1Y
No, because we live in a Bilingual Country. Immigrants should be highly encouraged to learn either French or English
