Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Social Mobility

Citizenship Applicants Dept: Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Friday his latest reform is aimed at requiring citizenship applicants to prove they can speak English or French, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "It's not acceptable because it limits their social mobility and their life in Canada." MONTREAL - Immigrants hoping to become Canadian citizens may soon have to provide written proof of their language abilities. "I've met a lot of Canadian citizens who have lived here for many years who can't express themselves in French or English," Kenney said during a speech Friday to the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations.
