Should foreigners, currently residing in the United States, have the right to vote?

Yes, permanent residents should be allowed to vote. They work, buy homes, pay taxes, send kids to local school etc. etc.

No if they don’t have there citizenship if yes then I think they should be able to vote

If they are citizens then should be allowed to vote no matter how long they’ve been here for. If they pay taxes and they are citizens

if they are not canadian then nooo

I think they should be here for a certain amount of time, like over 5 years, or in the process of becoming a Canadian Citizen as it is a very long process.

As long as they are a Canadian citizen

Yes but after living in the country for 3 years

Regardless, all Canadian citizens have a right to vote. If you are a citizen of Canada then you can vote, if you are not, then you do not have a vote.

Only citizens of other commonwealth realms may be allowed to vote if they have resided in Canada for over 365 consecutive days.

They shouldn't be able to vote instantly upon arrival maybe if they have a year or so then it would be plausable.

If they have done the paperwork to become a permanent resident then yes they should have the right to vote.

If they have held an approved Canadian citizenship and live in Canada they should have a right to vote

Only if they have taken a test that proves their allegiance to Canada and they share Canadian values and support them. As well as an IQ test and mental competency test to prove they are fit to vote

If the busted faux democracies of today are gonna pretend as though frequent elections of representatives can ever yield progress in the face of the disinformation deluge brought on by media and the internet, then everyone needs to understand that long-term planning is impossible. If you live somewhere, you're part of that community and deserve to speak.

If someone integrates to Canada they should be allowed to vote as long as they are in Canada for Refugee status

If they got there papers and went to school yes but if they apply for school then don't go but secretly living here no they shouldnt

Yes, but anyone immigrant or not should have to do a test to make sure they pay attention politics and are not too gullible

Yes, if they pay taxes and are currently in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen. Onky in those circumstances

Yes, but only after gaining permenant residency and living in the country after 2 years from getting permenant residency.

Any foreigners defined as legal citizens should have the right to vote, provided they've spent enough time here

Consider allowing permanent residents to vote in municipal elections since they contribute to local communities.

Require a minimum residency period before granting voting rights (e.g., those who have lived in Canada for 5+ years).

Focus on making the citizenship process more accessible rather than expanding voting rights to non-citizens.

Yes, only after living in Canada for a reasonable period of time and after demonstrating they understand fanadian politics

No, and all foreigners should be deported. The only people in Canada should be people whose grandparents were born here. Canadians are the only ones who should vote in Canada.

Foreigners who are recognized as Canadian citizens should be able to vote no matter how long they’ve been here.

Yes, but 5 years and they can vote local, then 7 years vote Federal to better understand the politics.

if they live in country legaly pay taxes have a job and arent a criminal they should be able to vote

if they are living there and dont plan on leaving for a long time then they should be allowed to have a choice of whos in charge because the person in charge will affect them to

Yes, provided that they can pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote.

No, only legal citizens who have lived in Canada legally for at least 18 years should be allowed to vote.

if their tourists no but if they are permanently staying here and are caught up on the political parties then yes

No, you should still require a citizenship to vote, you should not influence the vote if you aren't even going to be living here in the long run.

Yes after living in the country for 2 years. In the meantime they can vote in local elections as long as they pay taxes.

Yes, but only after 5 years (extended residency) as anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote.

No only legal citizens should be allowed to vote but the government should make a new sector that checks that nothing bad is coming to the foreigners from voting.

Yes, but they should be given a basic test about Canada's political parties and government structure before voting.

It depends on how long they have been living in the county and their desire to stay in the country as a permanent resident.

Yes, provided they are a permanent resident, have lived in Canada for at least 3 years, & have no record of committing a serious financial, violent, or sexual crime.

I think people who live and have/are getting citizen ship should or if they are staying here for a very long time should

Some governments promise to bring more immigrants into the country, which may sway the election towards them, no matter if they are a good fit for government or not.

No, only people born here should be able to vote, same goes for those in power, stop muddying our Canadian bloodline

Yes, if they are intending to remain in Canada as permanent residents or intend to apply for citizenship.

Yes only if they contribute to society and have been living here for more than 3 years. they need to be employed and have no criminal offence.

After being important to society, like living here for a few years or having a passport or something making them affected by what they chose

If someone is a Canadian citizen, they should have the right to vote, regardless of ethnic background.

Yes but only if they are not going to meddle with the election and plan on sticking around until the next election.

it depends on how long they are planning to stay because it could help them in the long run but not in the short run

Yes they should be allowed to vote but only after becoming a permanent Canadian citizen and they have to be employed and paying taxes for over 3 years.

Yes but only after they are a permanent resident and have resided in the country for 10 years or more

Yes, but only after living in the country for 3 years. I think it would be enough time to recognize nature of life in Canada.

The residents who have lived in Canada for more than 2 years and are planning to get a citizenship in future, should have the right to vote

Only if they've lived in Canada for more than ten years and are paying taxes and suporting our country.

after a year or if they are in the milatary.

Yes, but not for illegal immigrants

No, based on National Security risks.

Yes but after living in Canada for 2 years

I think yes but only if they have a full citizenship and have at least been here as a citizen for at least 2 years

Everyone in the country and immigrating should take a test upon voting registration to prove they know the government and are educated. You can always take it whenever registration opens. You can vote when you pass.

If they get their Canadian citizen ship then they should have the right to vote even if they're not Canadian

If the person is a permanent resident of Canada, and has been for over a year, they should have the right to vote.

Yes, but they should be required to pass a basic common knowledge test regarding the city, province or country depending on the type of election (federal, provincial, or local.)

Only if the party is a Permenent Resident and planning to reside in Canada for 10 or more years. If uncertain, voting will not be permitted.

Yes, as long as they have proved to be a citizen that provides value to Canada and is willing to work and put in effort to make a life here, not cause trouble, and not move somewhere else outside of Canada anytime soon.

For federal or provincial elections no. Not until they are eligible to get a citizenship or have one already. For municipal elections yes

Only if they have been granted a citizenship, and have lived in the country for at least over 5 years.

I think it depends on the length of their residency and whether or not they are here legally. I think if you are brand new to Canada, legally, then you should wait at least a year.

yes because soemtimes people ahve diffrent perspectives and eveyhtin fi think they shoudl have a right to vote too

Yes, so long as they currently reside in the country and will continue to be living in the country for the next two years minimum.

Yes, but only after the completion of citizenship to have been fully educated and aware of the laws and regulations that the country of Canada follows.

(My stance)In this era, voting rights are only for Canadian citizens and immigrants/foreigners/non-citizens alike are prohibited from voting even if they spent any significant amount of time in Canada. However, certain local jurisdictions like Quebec can allow permanent tenants to vote in municipal elections only after an undetermined duration in residence and possibly might get a response within six months or a full year.
Suppose one wishes to advocate voting rights for long-term immigrants who desire to vote in a local region in Canada. In that case, one should include residency requirements that affirm commitment and integration into coalesced local culture. However, attempting to make any meaningful change in voting rights will require legislative action and should be subject to political/public discourse.

No, and nobody who immigrates should have the right to vote until the great grandchildren of the immigrant.

It depends on a lot of factors. Such as how long they have been here and if they have any ties to a foreign state or criminal organization.

I am unsure. My instinct is all tax payers should vote. But also I can see the risk of destabilization by mass population shift

If those foreigners are planning to live here and apply to become Canadian citizens, maybe after they've lived there for a certain time and are legal to stay. If not, no.

The question is too broad - it suggests that voters could be "parachuted in" to sway elections, which is quite naturally unconscionable. However, there could be nuance in meeting the needs of newcomers.

Yes with permanent resident status if a citizen of a country that cancels citizenship if a second citizenship is attained.

Yes, but only after living here for 15 years since Canadian citizens can’t won’t until the age of 18. It should be relatively the same amount of years of residing in a country as the length of time a citizen has been alive to vote.

Yes, but as long as they are permanent residents & have lived in Canada without committing any serious crimes for at least 2 years.

as long as they have been in the country for more than 5 years and are a legal tax paying citizen, then yes they should have the right to vote.

After living and paying taxes for 5 years and receiving their first renewal it makes sense for PRs to have that right, however they should not be allowed to run for office.

people who live in Canada long term or are planning to become legal citizens should have the right to vote.

if the residents in Canada are here permanently and have been living for a while in Canada then they should have the right to vote

I think they should If they have an informed opinion on why they choose to vote for the person they are voting for, they should also have been in the country for a couple years and know the common language well.

Yes, but only those who pay taxes and after living in the country for 5 years should have the right to vote

After a few years of living experience they should have the right, and in the meantime, only local elections.

I would require living in the country for at least 3 years, show the intention to become a permanent citizen, and only be eligible to vote in local elections if they are not a citizen.

only citizens of canada, or people that were born in canada that are 18+ should be able to vote, unless you have been living in canada as a foreiner for more than 10 years, then they should legaly be able to vote.

if they were considered a legal citizen yes.

they can pay there taxes and be a citizen

Yes, if they are educated and they pay taxes they should be allowed.

Yes, but only if they're planning to stay in the country for a long period

Only if they are planning to live in Canada for a long period of time. Or are planning to settle in Canada, then I believe they should.

Yes, but limited voting rights if they are not yet a full citizen.

yes, but only if they are citizens of Canada

If they're a resident of Canada

If they understand the system, go for it

I think they should become a citizen and have lived in canada for at least a year.

After they have met the requirments of being a Canadian citizen until then no.

Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years and are second citizens of Canada

Yes, after gaining Permanent Residence Status
