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

 @9SSXMWWfrom British Columbia  answered…8mos8MO

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.

 @9F8VWSZfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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.)

 @9F233YSfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

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

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

 @8WJR7CWfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

no, they should be allowed to receive the same punishment as everyone else

 @8VSBFCDfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Immigrants should have the same sentence as somebody that’s not an immigrant.

 @8VLLX6Hfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

Depends on the crime. They are too strict on small offences. Onle crimes of a sexual or violent nature should be deported

 @8VLL8JMLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VGZJ7Gfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, if they committed the crime in our country then they should go through our country’s processes

 @8VB9HNTfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V8Y5QLNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

If it is safe to enter their own country, but also depending on the crime. People who have committed more severe crimes that pose a larger threat to Canadian safety should be deported, but illegal immigrants should not be.

 @8V5DYM7from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8TXY7BLfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8TK67HKLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8T7KWBWfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Depending on the severity of the crime, and how said crime poses a threat to society if that type of behaviour continues, then yes

 @8T47Z2Pfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8SYYRYCfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8SYLG33from Nova Scotia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, only if they have entered illegal unless it is unsafe to return to their country

 @8SRQFFDNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8SGDSH4from Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8SD6CQJfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I believe that as long as they serve a jail sentence for their crimes, it doesn't matter to me personally whether they serve their time here or their home country.

 @8SD43Z6from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8RHKDT8from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8R5BZB5from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if they have not been granted citizenship, then they should be deported and not imprisoned on taxpayers dime.

 @8QRWMGYfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QR7G7Vfrom Northwest Territories  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8PZDRSHfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PV6S6Sfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PRFKBJfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PQSYFVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8JPYMJ8from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8J8TFDJfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8DSTBMMfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

 @8DJ7SJHGreenfrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

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.

 @8D88CMJfrom Ontario  answered…5yrs5Y

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

 @997KWH3from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

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

 @8WZ6S2Xfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @8RSN5S3from Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QW7V9DLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8KSPPR9from Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8JRM9DFfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No. I think violent crimes are a result of desperation, lack of resources, and being shut down in a system. I think we should have more programming to support success among new Canadians. If they commit a violent crime, provide the support they need. Don't tear apart families. If it's a refugee, be compassionate -- they clearly left for a reason. Don't send them back to a dangerous place.
