Who is exempt from the requirement of knowing English or French to become a Canadian citizen?

Adult applicants 65 years of age or over
All applicants under the age of 18
Adult applicants 55 years of age or over
Any applicant with a university degree

The correct answer is: Adult applicants 55 years of age or over

Applicants for Canadian citizenship typically need to demonstrate knowledge of either English or French as part of the citizenship process. However, certain exemptions exist for individuals of older age or with a university degree. Option A is incorrect because while adults over the age of 65 may be exempt from certain requirements, this does not necessarily include the language requirement for citizenship. Option B is incorrect because while minors under the age of 18 may have different requirements for citizenship, this does not exempt them from the language proficiency requirement. Option D is incorrect because while having a university degree may provide certain exemptions for other requirements, it does not automatically exempt an individual from the language requirement for citizenship. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as adults 55 years of age or older may be exempt from the language proficiency requirement for Canadian citizenship. This is due to the fact that older individuals may have difficulty learning a new language or may have already established strong ties to their community, making it unnecessary for them to learn a new language for citizenship purposes.
