True or False: One must have adequate knowledge of English or French to become a Canadian citizen.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only English

  4. Only French

The correct answer is: True

Actually, to become a Canadian citizen, one must meet certain eligibility criteria set by the government, such as holding permanent residency and meeting the physical presence requirement. While knowledge of English or French is not a requirement, it is important for new citizens to have a basic proficiency in either language to fully participate in Canadian society. Option B is incorrect because it implies that no knowledge of English or French is needed, which is not the case. Option C and D are incorrect because they suggest that only one language is required, when in reality, having knowledge of both languages is beneficial.
