No, but he have to go to the jail like if he killed someone, he have to go life in jail or something like that.
@9DK2XHH2yrs2Y
I think this is more nuanced than that.
@9BQ3VP72yrs2Y
if they are legally citizen, then no
@99QD2CC2yrs2Y
if it is bad enough to the point to where they have to leave then yes but if its not that bad just put them into jail.
Yes but if it is so serious then there should be a death penalty reenacted just for non-residents of Canada
@964XZRFConservative3yrs3Y
yes, but to another safe country not including the one they fled.
@964KJCF3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if it is safe fore them, and they are not yet legally citizens
@939FJR43yrs3Y
No. They should be locked up here. Some of our laws don't apply in their countries and they are set free. Also what if they're wrongly convicted? That's not fair for them or their children etc.
Depends upon the crime. What is "serious"?
@8VGPBXB4yrs4Y
Yes if it’s for murder or similar severity
@8VFQJXY4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as their home country will punish them as much or more than us. if they wont be punished as much then keep them in jail here
@8V8G7TF4yrs4Y
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)
@8V4K43RRhinoceros4yrs4Y
no, offer rehabilitation programs to help them
@8RT3DSG4yrs4Y
No, unless the crime warrants deportation.
@8PGQLXJ4yrs4Y
I think if they commit two or three crimes then they should be deported, because if someone is a murderer and they come to canada. If they get deported back, they can just keep killing.
Yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country. If not, they should fid oh serving their sentence
Yes, if not yet a citizen
