Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2025

What languages are spoken the most at home in Toronto after English?

1. French and Spanish

2. Chinese and Punjabi

3. Chinese and Italian

4. Italian and Spanish

The correct answer is: Chinese and Italian

This is because the 2016 census data showed that after English, the most commonly spoken languages at home in Toronto were Chinese and Italian, in that order. Although French and Spanish are also commonly spoken in Toronto, they rank lower than Chinese and Italian. Thus, option A is incorrect because although French and Spanish may be commonly spoken languages in Toronto, they are not among the top two languages spoken after English. Option B is incorrect because while Chinese is the second most commonly spoken language after English, Punjabi is not. Option D is incorrect because although Spanish may be a commonly spoken language, it does not rank in the top two after English, whereas Chinese and Italian do.
