(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.
