Canadian Citizenship and Immigrants

Canada: For immigrants, the main requirement for Canadian citizenship is that the immigrant prove that he or she has lived in Canada for four of the last six years, according to CBC. Currently, a bill is going before Parliament to decrease the time a person has to be in Canada to become a citizen to three years. However, since our government exempts certain immigrants from being able to speak English or French before they immigrate here, why should we make these immigrants pass a language test years later to become Canadian citizens Immigrating to Canada and getting Canadian citizenship are two different things. This bill will also decrease the age range of immigrants who must pass an English or French language test to qualify for citizenship. Should the law change, the age range will shrink to 18 to 54. Right now, immigrants age 14 to 64 must pass a language test. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
