Communicating importance to parents/guardians

Canadian culture is inclusive (or at least should be) to different race, creeds, and colours, so assimilation is contrary to the goal

Increasing globalization in society means acquisition of language is greatly beneficial, as opposed to swapping/trading of language proficiency (more the merrier)
