    Thank you for clarifying. English is the official language of Canada, right? I know provences support French, but is it also an official language?

    For instance, in the U.S. there is no national language. Most government forms are provided in MANY languages and/or can be requested in them.

    I’m not sure in the US a university could require language profiency in a specific language. To be fair, though, I haven’t researched it. Maybe somebody can clarify if there are any federally funded ones that do?

    If Canadian universities require conversational French for 80% of grads but the only official language is English, then I wonder what the legal basis is for the requirement? If both English and Fench are official national languages, I understand how that would be the basis.

    Thanks for the conversation, I’m learning a lot.
