Yes, current legal immigrants should be required to learn fluent english, french , and spanish
@B3YW96223hrs23H
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.
@9L4XKWX12mos12MO
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
@9J2KZ541yr1Y
Yes, unless they are mentally unable to (such as cases of dementia where a family member enters the country on humanitarian grounds)
@9HCPZTC1yr1Y
Require them to learn either English or French, and the government should provide free language learning courses
