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.
@99YGNZR2yrs2Y
No, t,hey should suffer the consequences of the place they are living.
@B2BMK7B3mos3MO

@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
@9KM36XP1yr1Y
Yes as long as its safe, and will be legally punished in their country as well ( as long as they pay for their crimes basically)
@9F42NPP2yrs2Y

@9583LQM3yrs3Y

@94S2TM7New Democratic3yrs3Y

only if the crime is extremely severe and have been living here less than 5 years
@8TZ65QC4yrs4Y
Yes, unless they’ve become citizens, then no.
@8TF3JTT4yrs4Y
This is a real grey area, due to the fact we are a free country who protect immigrants. But all depending on the crime and severity should be heavily in the discussion.
@8QSCBCY4yrs4Y
No, unless they deny to serve their sentence; then they can have the option to serve it or get deported.
@8QRWMGY4yrs4Y
Only if it is a sexual or violent crime such as homicide
@8PQSYFV4yrs4Y
No, they should serve their time or take whatever penalties any other Canadian would receive.

no unless they have entered the country illegally and it is safe for them to return.
