NM about the French...it says "OR". AUGH, I am not awake yet and that's not a good time to read anything of importance. :)

Still can't find a practice test though.

I've been looking on the CIC website...can't seem to locate a practice test. Do I need to learn basic conversational French? I mean, I want to learn French, but it will be the French Acadian that my husband speaks. I have a few years anyway...

I can't seem to find it on the CIC either. Maybe it's just the info booklet you can get on there. No, you do not need to know French for Canadian citizenship. If that was the case a lot of us, me included would be in trouble.... plus, I work for the Federal gov't and don't even need to know French for my position. I thought that you were required to know at least one of the 2 official languages (English or French) but I'm not even too sure of that b/c I've had lots of people with a citizenship card that don't seem to know english or at least they pretend they don't. Funny thing is that they somehow knew enough English to get into the US thru US customs.

It's good to know I don't have to speak French to apply for PR or Citizenship - right now I would be sunk! I have a few years anyway before we're at the point of moving to Nova Scotia (home for my hubby).

If you were applying for Canadian citizenship based upon the points system set up for independent application as opposed to family sponsorship, it would help to know French since you receive extra points for being able to read and write both of the official languages. It isn't a requirement though. Interestingly, the Canadian Citizenship test consists of two parts - the first are general questions about Canadian geography, history and politics. The second are questions that are specific to your part of the country. We used to provide copies of the answers for the second part from our Constituency Office since oftentimes the information had to be gathered from a variety of different sources and required a bit of research, usually from newspapers and at a library. The answers to the first part, however, were all contained in the "A Look at Canada" book that CIC mailed you when they acknowledged your application for citizenship, so we never provided those.

Isn't it so much better to just be born with Canadian citizenship? :devil::whistle:
That would have been nice for me in one way (when I was waiting endlessly for cutoff-date progress).
You would only need to know French if you plan to immigrate to Quebec.
So long as it's 16th-century "Cockney-equivalent" French.
