I have been a permanent resident since the early 70's. I should have applied for citizenship many years ago, I was too busy raising 4 Canadian children. Now with the price tag so high to obtain citizenship, I haven't bothered. Long answer to say yes, we should have a right to vote as contributing, tax paying members of Canadian society.
@8VVWSSS4yrs4Y
Yes but only after living for 5 years and experienced knowledge on the Canadian Political System.
@943PG5Y3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as you pay taxes and live here
