Depending on how long they have been in the country, what they did and if they entered the country illegally
@9LM4P8Y1yr1Y
If they have citizenship they should be able to stay though without they should be deported after a serious crime.
@9KJZXZDConservative1yr1Y
It depends on what crime they commit. For example, bio-terrorism should be a serious crime which is deportable to some extent. But you don't just deports somebody for stealing 3 packets of jolly ranchers. Also, how long have they lived in this country; a year, 16 years, are they legal citizens? Etc.

@8VPXW7PConservative4yrs4Y
No, they should just go to jail in the country that they are residing in.

Yes, but only if they are not fully Canadian citizens or permanent residents and it is safe to return to their country.
@8V2WM4KConservative4yrs4Y
They should be thrown in jail forever, the same as any other criminal that commits a serious crime such as rape (serious and life-altering to the victim) or murder (except in the case of self-defense, such as a woman who is being domestically abused. They should be given a medal.).
@8TYT9YDConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, unless they have become a citizen before the crime

@8RL47CS4yrs4Y
You have to define what you include as a serious crime. There is a wide interpretation of what than means. We have laws in place that if convicted of certain indictable offences, the guilty person upon completion of any sentence can be deported. But what do with someone who gave up their original nationality? They cannot go back to a country they are no longer a citizen off
