Adding a language requirement to permanent residency and extending the citizenship residence requirement to eight years seems like a great way to ensure highly paid and highly educated professionals from abroad find somewhere else to live.

    Language requirements absolutely make sense for citizenship. But we shouldn’t give high earning professionals a reason to leave and stop paying taxes here. If someone is able to work in English and make a ton of money here, we should absolutely encourage that. Our budget needs more people like that. The security of permanent residency makes it far more likely that they will stay.

      Making English the second major official language instead of Swedish would solve this :)
