Yes, they should. However, they must be allowed to speak their own languages if they wish and the government should help them learn.

Yes, but they should not be pressured to and should still be able to speak their original and native languages in many situations professional, public and / or private

No, immigrants should be required to learn English or French, and the government should provide free language learning courses
@9W8GXQS2mos2MO
Depends on their age, if they are above 70, I believe they shouldn't, if they are younger than 40, they should.
@9W7YCTK2mos2MO
no they should have to learn but it would be nice to learn a little so they can communicate with people a little easier.
@9W3PDY82mos2MO
Immigrants should be required to learn English or French (ie. one of the two national languages of Canada).
