If they are a canadian citizen then no. They should be treated like any other citizen.

 @8VHJHZ5from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence and its safe to return to their home countrey

 @8VTGNRDfrom Ontario  commented…3yrs3Y

Who cares if it is unsafe for them to return to their country. You don't commit crime in the country and get safe passage back. It's part of the consequence.

 @8SYC4LCfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

If they have citizenship, they should serve their sentance as a Canadian in Canada.

 @B3HJ6ZZfrom British Columbia  answered…1wk1W

Yes, but it should be dependent on the nature of the crime and whether the individual poses a continued risk to the public, or high likelihood of re-offending

 @B3FGWZDfrom Ontario  answered…1wk1W

i feel like if you deport them for doing an crime they should serve their time and go back to their lives

 @B3D5YQMfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

only if their country is safe and they should do time in the country they commit a crime then further discussions will be nessicary

 @B39YWLPLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

This question doesn't really make sense because why are we deporting only immigrants that commit a serious crime? Does this not tie into some sort of racism? If the crime committed involved murder or arson, then yes I suppose. If not, then what's the point of deporting them? If it's something like stealing then no. And if they are then they should be able to return to their country with no questions asked.

 @B395RFRfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Only if they have not obtained citizenship, and only after they gave served their time for the crime.

 @B374ZCMLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

It depends on how long they have been living in Canada for, have they assimilated well into the community here, and are the a legal or illegal immigrant.

Any immigrant who came here legally, has been here for several years, has assimilated into the community here, and have no more significant ties to their home country, should not be deported.

 @B35WYBCfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

If they finish serving a sentence here they can stay, or they can be deported if it is safe for them to return

 @B35Q7K5answered…3wks3W

Yes, after they have served their sentence, and if it is safe for them to return to their country of origin

 @B347NKWfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

Depends on crime and intent = driver of the truck that hit the Humboldt hockey team I feel is an exception he should be able to stay

 @B32LQ49from Ontario  answered…3wks3W

Prison. do not deport them back to their country to give them the opportunity to commit any more crimes.

 @B2VWLV5from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If they have a Canadian citizenship, they should be sentenced just the same as a normal Canadian citizen.

 @B2VVD4VNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

I am assuming they are not yet citizens? In that case, only if it would be safe for them to go back.

 @B2VDNWTNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

depends based on their immigration status at the time of their offence. If they're permanent residents or citizens, they should not be deported.

 @B2SWTSNfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

They shouldnt necessarily be deported, but more like treated like citizens of the country who commited serious crimes. If they have a repeat offense they should be sent back.

 @B2N8YSSfrom New York  answered…1mo1MO

Yes and no. If they entered illegally, serve their time then deport. If entered legally, then only serve time.

 @B2MNQY7from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If it's a serious crime I believe they should be rehabilitated in prison as long as they are a legal citizen.

 @B2M64B3from Texas  answered…1mo1MO

Yes and no, if they are illegally entered, then serve the sentence and deport. If here legally, just serve the sentence

 @B2HLTY9from New Brunswick  answered…2mos2MO

only if they’re illegal or have been here for less than 5 years. also the crime is important for my decision

 @9ZZ37MKConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, regardless of if their country of origin is a country with a bad human rights history should of thought about that before committing a violent offence

 @9ZYVF3Mfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Their green card will be revoked if they commit a crime, but if they are granted citizenship they should be treated like any other citizen

 @9ZY2QB6from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

if they enter the country illegally or are able to go back safely if we send them but the crime is not comparable to the judgment given like depending on the crime like drug smuggling kidnapping mass homicide etc.

 @9ZXWXP2from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, Serious crimes such as Murder and the nature of its intent, rape at any age of the victim, kidnapping, child pornography, human trafficking etc. Prisons here are great, if they came from 3rd world country where prisons are far from inhabitable, I think more justice can be serve.

 @9ZS95QKfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

it depends on the crime and how grave it was like if two people got caught stealing but one was stealing candy from a cornerstone while the other one was stealing money in a bank they should have different punishments

 @9ZMYJ4Pfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

If they commit a serious crime like armed robbery, arson, murder of any degree, etc, they should be deported after finished their sentences. Unless it’s life in prison, the person will be deported to their nation again.

 @9ZMK8WWfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

no, they should face the current punishment for their crime that abides by the laws of the place of which the crime was commited.

 @9ZJYT2Bfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Very situationally dependant, especially dependant on their contribution and dedication to the betterment of their lives as well as our country.

 @9SSXMWWfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

Only if it’s safe back in their home country, and it depends on the crime, for example, theft can not be compared to something like sexual assault.

 @9RYZCDMfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, and temporarily pause relationships with their native country until their native country deals with them under their justice system

 @9L4PZ2KConservativefrom Saskatchewan  answered…12mos12MO

They shall be held in prison for longer but unless they have there Canadian citizen ship they will serve the canadian sentence for that crime

 @9L36WDWLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No, but he have to go to the jail like if he killed someone, he have to go life in jail or something like that.

 @9L24SNRfrom Manitoba  answered…12mos12MO

They should be sent to prison here, If they move here they are Canadian and should be punished as such, not become someone else's problem.

 @9KYNQQ3from Newfoundland  answered…12mos12MO

Yes, but after they have completed serving their sentence and only if it's safe for them to return to their country

 @9K3F9YCConservativefrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but after they have served their sentence and if they have good behaviour it can be reconsidered with community service.

 @9JZ4BJ3from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

Whether someone should be deported depends on the laws of the country and the seriousness of the crime.

 @9JYPDGGfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No, they should only have to serve their time then if they commit repeat offense it should be their replacement for jail time

 @9JWLF6Sfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

no, if they are citizens but other than that it would have to depend on the crime committed and if it is safe for them to return to their country

 @9JWF3J2from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

If they are citizens to the place they are at the moment than no but if they are tryig to become one and in the process than yes.

 @9JVR75Xfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I think it fully depends on the crime. If it was a act of terrorism against that country then yes, but a serial killer shouldn't be deported only put into jail.

 @9JS8GNHfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

They should be imprisoned for what they did, but if they entered the country illegally they should be deported

 @9JQ8T5Jfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, unless they've entered illegally & it's safe for them to return to their home country, if it's not safe, then either keep them here or send them to another safe nation willing to take them in.

 @9JNM5S7from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and do not allow any other immigrant from that country until that immigrant has been dealt with under their home countries justice system

 @9HXV9RFLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No if they are full citizens or permanent residents. Yes if they are not full citizens and their country is safe to return to

 @9HQHPGNLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

The government system should be able to make sure the immigrant's homeland is safe and alright to live in. They should also check if the immigrants is changed person or undergo therapy and help.

 @9HKC2TYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

If they have committed a crime, they should be banned from the country for a certain amount of time, then once that time period is done, they can return. However if their country is not safe, the should be allowed to stay or be moved to a different country.

 @9HFM6PVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

if they commit somthing super seirous like murder fraud or rape than yes but not if they do somthing smaller

 @9HDX33Gfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, only if they have entered the country illegally, if the country is safe to go back to and has served their sentence/punishment for the crime they committed.

 @9GB6TRPfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

If they are legally a Canadian citizen then no, unless they commit an act of terrorism or traitorism.

 @9FVYQK3from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but after they have finished serving their sentence or make a process to continue stay in Canada.

 @9FKMM2Tfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

Yes if it is a felony and they have not been here for a minimum of five years, and/or have citizenship

 @9FKGY8Bfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

They should be treated just as residents and citizens are treated after they commit a serious crime.

 @9FHKN4Dfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9FBTX3Tfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, only if they have entered the country illegally, but make becoming a citizen easier

 @9F8XJM8from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

illegal immigrants will be deported. legal immigrants legally living in the country for less then 5 years will be deported, If the legal immigrant has lived in the country for over 5 years they will serve there sentence then remain in the country like a normal citizen.

 @9F8VWSZfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

If they are citizens of Canada they should be tried as Canadians, if they are not yet they should be deported unless they won't be safe in their home country (ie. they are of an identity that will face persecution, they are personally at risk if they return, or if the punishment for their crime would be inhuman such as torture or the death penalty.)

 @9F7WWLJfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

 @9F7DNYYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

 @9F75LBGfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

only if entered illegally and it’s safe to return and its a very very serious crime

 @9F72Q64from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

depends on how serous the crime is, if its something like murder then yes but if its somehting small then no.

 @9F6XSHLfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Not if they are legally a citizen or it is unsafe for them to return to their country

 @9F5HY3Hfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

If they are a citizen then no. If they are a non citizen who has been deemed a danger to remain in Canada than yes, but even in that instant only so long as their country of origin is safe for them to return to.

 @9F233YSfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

If they're a citizen then no. If they have t become citizen, yes. If it's safe

 @9DZXPT6from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that it depends on the crime they commit. If it is a serious crime then yes deport them but if it is a minor crime and they have no record I think that you could let them be.

 @9DZBD2Qfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Depends on if they've become a Canadian citizen, then no. If they haven't and the crime is violent, then yes...as long as it's safe to return to home country

 @9DHJR72from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

If the immigrant has committed the crime, charged and convicted. Depending on the severity deported and black listed.

 @9DH5CGJConservativefrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9DDB3M2from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Depends really. Serious crimes, yes. But then again, deporting someone back to their native country could be just a death sentance for them. They could be fleeing a collapsing country/country with active warzones. Time in canadian judicial system is what I prefer for a individual that has committed a crime

 @9D4YF47Libertarianfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, only if it's a violent crime, and they should serve their sentence in their home country, not in Canada, so that they don't cost Canadian tax payers.

 @9CM6JT8from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Immigrants should be deported regardless of seriousness of the crime. Including their whole family.
