That being said I have no particular problems with our current citizenship requirements (3 years in the country, capable of speaking English or French and a test on the "rights and responsibilities of citizenship" and an "understanding of Canada’s history, values, institutions and symbols").

Marriages of convenience may not be allowed under Canada’s immigration law but are commonly done. Somebody marries this guy/women from another country. The guy/woman doesn't actually love them and just did it to get a Canadian citizenship.
Have you seen the
W5 documentary? Sometimes, the language translator workers help them in this illegal process. That's the fault of Canada's enforcement of those workers. Internal goverment paper says that 25% of the applications are fraud. Canada's citizenship rules are too lenient. Citizen and Immigration Canada and Canada Border Services Agency don't bother investigating complants about this which is absurd since they should be deported for marriage fraud.
