 @9HY5DZXcommented…4mos4MO

they dont need to sign you mong. when you enter the country you instantly are expected to follow their laws......

 @9LPXFDDanswered…1 day1D

I think yes bur the current one isn't good, I feel as if the citizenship test shoukd be to help people understand society of the UK and so to help them live e.g. with a mortgage or taxes

 @9LPSDSManswered…2 days2D

Yes, and so should existing british citizens, and it should cover more than just a basic understanding.

 @9LP6YSQanswered…3 days3D

If they're over the age of 16 they should be able to complete key GCSE level exams if not then they shouldn't be accepted.

 @9LP4V7Vanswered…3 days3D

Yes, but it should focus more on language and less on abstract history facts that most British people would not be able to answer.

 @9LP498Lanswered…3 days3D

Historical understanding should be very basic, but language and government should be understood at a good level

 @9LNX8Q3answered…4 days4D

Yes, but focus more on being a good citizen, no littering, good community cohesion, speaking/learning English for whole family. History/government a bit irrelevant

 @9LNG6MBanswered…4 days4D

Yes, but it should only cover basic language tests and the British Values, to ensure they understand how to fit into British society.

 @9LN5DSNfrom Pennsylvania answered…5 days5D

Yes, but only if it is a test that most citizens could pass and is based on readily available information.

 @9LLVFK7answered…6 days6D

Immigrants should not be invited to live in our country to then live for free use all of our FREE Healthcare etc

 @9LLSSW2Greenanswered…6 days6D

Refugees should be provided with education on language and British Values (which are non-discriminatory) but with regards to history...risk of it being biased. Would be useful to provide information on politics to all citizens and immigrants!

 @9LL49P9answered…1wk1W

Stupid question as this is already a requirement of VISA and Indefinate leave to remain oh and fix the spelling please

 @9LJKSVDanswered…1wk1W

Yes, but only language and social values (i.e. diversity, respect regardless of gender, tolerance, etc.)

 @9LHYMF8answered…2wks2W

Yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics, which the general population-at-large are able to understand, although a more advanced course on British life (constitution and parliamentary system) I'd necessary in order to be productive/participatory citizens.

 @9LHDWQ7answered…2wks2W

History I would say is less important, but anyone migrating to the UK must have a competent standard of written and verbal English and we should not be providing free translation services at tax payers expense.

 @9LGPFN8answered…2wks2W

Yes but it should be more relevant to daily life in the UK. Most UK citizens couldn't pass the existing test without research.

 @9LGLJSV answered…2wks2W

Yes but with considerations for each individual circumstance and their willingness to learn about our country, culture and be a good citizen.

 @9LF2SMHanswered…2wks2W

No but there should be screening donefor criminal bg and intent. Especially for people entering as refuges. Do they have savings. Are they working or making arrangements to work. Could probably ask basic questions on human rights and general western beliefs. Since that's where most clash is happening.

 @9LBYB6Qanswered…3wks3W

Yes, but it should be relevant to living and working here. Not silly questions about history and celebrities.

 @9LB9NJPLabouranswered…3wks3W

Yes, and more than just a basic level of understanding, and also resources should be made available to citizens to ensure that they could also pass one.

 @9LB57KSanswered…3wks3W

Not a test per say, perhaps more of a journal like jobs seekers does. "How are you settling?", "Have you found work?", etc.

 @9L9VNWJanswered…3wks3W

Yes they should they should also agree that they are entering a Christian Country and they can practice their religious beliefs but they can't abolish the Christian Faith.

 @9L9RVS8answered…3wks3W

Yes but it should be much more relevant than the current test and should aid their integration into society

 @9L7RS4Panswered…3wks3W

They should adopt our values and not expect to bring thier religons or prevoius laws with them.except our ways as I would when going to another country.

 @9L63LS5 answered…4wks4W

Yes, but purely from the stance that they can become citizens easier and better navigate life in a different country

 @9L55SJ2answered…4wks4W

Yes but it should cover a basic level of understanding and spoken and written English with only basic levels of knowledge of British history and culture. I am familiar with some of the questions asked and know that British born adults would have problems answering many of them.

 @9L2Q3GFanswered…1mo1MO

This is completely different depending on their reason for being here. Different jobs require different levels of knowledge, mainly language competence.

 @9KZJBCNanswered…1mo1MO

No as it can be hard for those coming from countries who are currently in war and so we need to show them all the respect and help they can get. If we only let those in who "understand" us, then it's not fair for those who have been brought up in a completely different way from us.

 @9KVTHMGanswered…1mo1MO

Yes but the current test is useless and non representative of British culture ands values the test should focus on understanding of laws appreciation of values such as human rights and knowledge of the English language.

 @9KVTCS9answered…1mo1MO

Yes but people should be taught how to pass this test in a specialized education environment first. Then once they past they can become citizens.

 @9KV7QKDanswered…1mo1MO

I think it should be about how they can contribute to our economy with tougher remits to ensure our over population of some areas doesn’t put unnecessary pressure on our services

 @9KT2T53answered…1mo1MO

No, but immigrants should be given aid to understand these to not feel isolated in a different country

 @9KSXJKFPlaid Cymruanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, particularly who won WW2. If they answer, UK or US they should be immediately removed to Rwanda as it is clearly USSR

 @9KSXG6Tanswered…1mo1MO

Yes with a basic language understanding and proof of willingness to work and to embrace British values.

 @9KQLQMS answered…1mo1MO

Immigrants must learn to read, write and speak the language of the country they are integrating into. Learning and understanding the history should not be compulsory but should be advised or encouraged for a greater understanding.

 @9KPVKB9Social Democraticanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, and all aspects of Citizenship should be part of the school curriculum in the uk for all citizens too!

 @9KKWFTVLabouranswered…2mos2MO

No, but a be given an induction to provide a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government

 @9KJSB7Hanswered…2mos2MO

Only need to ask revelent questions because I know half of the Uk citiziens don't even know about Uk.

 @9KH2CQ7 answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but it should focus solely on major differences in law between their bative country, and the UK.

 @9KDT86Ganswered…2mos2MO

It’s not the knowledge that’s important, it’s presenting enough intent to pass. The Uk allows for dual citizenship unlike other nations. Instead of asking that you give up your prior citizenship they ask that you study a bit. Not crazy.

 @9K8X94Yanswered…2mos2MO

It should test there understanding of the law and there speaking and understanding ability of the English speech.

 @9K3CR9Ganswered…2mos2MO

yes because if they cannot speak our language and understand what we say because otherwise they feel like outcasts because they cannot do anything

 @9JXKVVHanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but the questions should be entirely relevant to life within the UK as opposed to arbitrary nonsense most UK citizens would struggle to answer.

 @9JWWF77answered…2mos2MO

The current migration citizenship test is completely irrelevant to our country. There should be one but a fully different, much more relevant one.

 @9JRXTPSanswered…3mos3MO

A willingness to learn the language and the appropriate support to do so should be all that is required
