In Canada and the US, most people are required to know the most basic knowledge of English to survive, and sometimes french or spanish depending on where you live. However there are some tight weaved communities which people are not required to know any other languages, because they deal with their own small community.

How did immmigration policy affect language in the US?

The U.S originally speaks English, and it now has part Spanish because so many Hispanics and Mexicans have immigrated into the U.S because of how terrible it must be in Mexico. And immigrants keep on coming and coming, it is increasing, and they are taking over a part of the national language. So it is now English, but pretty soon it will be both English and Spanish, thanks to the immigrants from Mexico. And the German tourists (who are awesome, by the way!).
