Very situationally dependant, especially dependant on their contribution and dedication to the betterment of their lives as well as our country.
@9JQ8T5J1yr1Y
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.
@9F5HY3H2yrs2Y
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.
@B2BMK7B3mos3MO
Unless they have entered the country illegally, no, if they have & it is unsafe for them to return home, send them to an agreed safe location outside of Canada.
@9SZ2Z7PConservative8mos8MO
Yes, but only if the crime is serious enough(such as terrorism), and after a investigation of the criminal has been done.
@9SXL5548mos8MO
Yes, if it is a crime such as rape, aggravated assault, any sort of abuse to Canadians, but if their country is unsafe or in a state of war for example, then they should be in some sort of prison cell

Depends on what the crime was, if they've served their sentence and if there's no fear that they will be a danger to their own country/its people.
@8RXXKS24yrs4Y
Treat as any other citizen... through the justice/legal system. If they are not a citizen yet then if found guilty send back to their country no matter what that country’s policy... we do not have the right to dictate their laws

No, unless they deny to serve their sentence; then they can have the option to serve it or get deported.
