Yes, If the individual is a Canadian citizen who immigrated and went through all of the processes of becoming a citizen throughout residing in Canada, they have legally become an official Canadian Citizen, granting said person the right to vote & many other privileges.
@9CMJWMC2yrs2Y
Don't you have to be Canadain to vote? So if there Canadain then yes but if not then no?
@9CKYBRD2yrs2Y
Yes, if a foreigner has been living in Canada for some time (at least 3 years) and they pay taxes. Laws will also affect these individuals, therefore, they should have the right to vote.
@99DBPCD2yrs2Y
This is an extremely double-sided issue. If foreigners are allowed to vote, there is a chance that foreign politicians can manipulate politics, but it can also make voting fairer.
@99CTN9BConservative2yrs2Y
Voting system is rigged no one’s opinion matters
