Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

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

Depends. If it was murder through self defence, then it could be argued that they can stay. If they’re committing crimes such as first degree murder/rape, they must go

Hiubhavent specified what exactly is a serious crime. If you mean murder then yes they should be deported after serving time

As long as they're not a Canadian citizen and the crime is a serious one

not if they are a legal citizen

Depending on if the country they are getting deported to could kill them eg; North Korea

Yes, as long as it is safe to do so and only if the crime was murder.

Yes and every single relative!!!

Only if it is a serious violent crime other wise no they live here too

If it’s safe for them to return and if they have not been in Canada for a long time

Yes, as long as their home country has the proper criminal punishment systems.

Yes, if it is safe for them to return and the individual circumstances of the offence are actually serious (not just deemed indictable for immigration purposes when they’re actually hybrid offences that proceeded summarily in criminal court)

If we had implements in place to aid the immigrants that the government itself approves to enter to country this wouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Yes! They should be sent back to their home country if they’ve committed ANY type of crime. Why is this even a question?!?!

Depending on the type of crime committed

Only if they never had citizenship and it is safe for them to return to their country of origin. If they are citizens then they should be imprisoned in Canada.

It would depend on the severity of their crime as well as their current citizen status.

Murder, sexual assault, terrorism. Send them back

serve their time and let them stay

I think so only only if it is extremely serious where it harms plenty of Canadian citizens

Depends on what kind of crime

No, if they are an official citizen then they receive punishment given by Canadian law

Hugely dependent on crime severity. Violent crimes and assault or endangerment to the public.

I think it depends on severity of the crime, time served, and whether or not there has been genuine human rehabilitation.

There must be a bench mark of how serious the crime is. If it passes it, then the person must be deported

yes and no. although it still depends on the records of the individual

Depending on the crime and if it is safe to return to their country

Only if the crime is violent, sexual, or a hate crime.

Yes, depending on the severity. First degree murder and rape should be reason to send immigrants back to their original country as long as its safe to return, if its murder done in protection for themselves i believe they should have the right to stay in Canada

Case by case basis to be determined in a court of law

Yes, if they have commited the serious crime as an adult and it is safe for them to return to their country

No, they should serve their time or take whatever penalties any other Canadian would receive.

Only if they are not citizens or they pose a serious risk to Canada and their home country is safe

depends on the severity of the crime, how long they've been in canada and how safe it is for them to return

Only if these commit very serious crime (murder, sexual abuse)

I believe they should serve their sentence here in Canada because they are a citizen here now. Deporting them wouldn’t make sense because they need to face the consequences of their actions.

no, they should spend time in prison and then get another chance with community service

if they're a citizen and charged then they're a Canadian citizen. if they're a permanent resident then they should serve their sentence and see the court to determine their staying in Canada or not

Yes, if the crime is a severe offense.

They should be given a second chance and if there is they commit a serious crime again then they should be deported as long as its safe for them to return.

I feel this is something that should be determined on a case by case basis after serving their sentence.

It depends on how long they've been in the country. Some people came here from a very young age and are a product of Canada's environment and not their country of origin.

Did the person steal a candy bar or a child? There’s a difference

If they are failed to be rehabilitated and commit again they should go back

Depending on the type of the crime

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

Yes, if it’s safe for them to return to their country and they entered Canada illegally

Depends on the severity of the crime. Hate-based or religion-based etc.

No, only if they have entered the country illegally and committed a violent felony or trafficked cartels of the most lethal drugs.

No, only if they have entered the country illegally and committed a violent felony or trafficked cartels of the most lethal drugs

Yes, if they have entered the country illegally and committed a felony or felonies

No, but they should serve prison.

Yes, only for felonies of a violent nature

Yes, if they have entered the country illegally and committed felonies of a violent nature
