Depends really. Serious crimes, yes. But then again, deporting someone back to their native country could be just a death sentance for them. They could be fleeing a collapsing country/country with active warzones. Time in canadian judicial system is what I prefer for a individual that has committed a crime
@9FLGPPX2yrs2Y
If they are committed in criminal in Canada they will be punished by the country they engaged in criminal don’t make sense to send them back to go for different criminals activities
@nobodyspecialLiberal3yrs3Y
They should have the same treatment as Canadian citizens.
@8VHN27ZNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Not if they became a Canadian citizen beforehand. And not if they’re home country is not safe. Deporting people with nothing to go home to is disgusting.
@8VC6ZQJ4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as their home country has the proper criminal punishment systems.
@8V9CZM24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they are not Canadian citizens
@8TZXVB94yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they are not citizens or permanent residents who have lived in the country for more than five years and only if it is safe for them to return to their country.
@8TV376X4yrs4Y
No. Must serve sentence here.
@8TKBVBG4yrs4Y
No, they should only be deported if they commit a serious crime after only being here for a few years.
@8TJ7RB6Conservative4yrs4Y
If they serve their sentence they should not be deported
@8QTX6YR4yrs4Y
No, I think it depends on where this persons support system is. Should be a choice they can make considering they have to serve a long sentence.
@8PRVVJT4yrs4Y
It depends on how harsh the crime is
@8PR24ZK4yrs4Y
I think only if it is very serious like first degree murder.
@8P3HL3F4yrs4Y
If they entered the country illegally, yes.
