My question is more of a survey, because I have some constituents who won't take the test out of fear that they will not be able to pass, whether it's the language proficiency or the knowledge-based test. They've been asking when the changes are coming in.
I wanted to know if the department has undertaken any survey or poll to see the actual amount of people who would apply in addition to what they would expect otherwise. So somebody, if they already on their own think they will not pass a level 4 English requirement, may not even go do the test. Therefore, you won't know their pass or failure rate.
How many more people do you believe would apply for citizenship with this new measure? Is there any poll or study conducted by the department?
