Close to one in six Canadians who only spoke a non-official language most often at home five years prior to the survey have since begun using an official language
Data from the 2022/2023 Canadian Social Survey allow us to observe the populations most likely to make a change in linguistic behaviour by introducing one of the two official languages at home. People who spoke only French or English most often at home were less likely to change their linguistic behaviour than people who only spoke a non-official language.
