Which objective underscores integration with mutual obligations?

• A. Deny access to language training.
• B. Promote the successful integration of immigrants into Canadian society, recognizing that integration involves mutual obligations for new immigrants and Canadian society.
• C. Remove language support services.
• D. Prioritize economic growth over social inclusion.

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that integration works best when there are mutual obligations between newcomers and the host society. The best choice expresses this clearly by promoting successful integration into Canadian society and explicitly recognizing that both new immigrants and Canadian society share responsibilities. Newcomers contribute by learning the language, respecting laws, and participating in community life, while society supports them with language training, fair access to opportunities, and welcoming policies. Choices that pull back support or deny access—such as denying language training, removing language services, or prioritizing economic growth over social inclusion—undermine integration by placing all the burden on individuals or on growth alone, rather than fostering a two-way process that benefits everyone.
