Shouldn't be able to vote until you become a citizen and pay taxes.

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

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.

 @8MS74JBfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

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.
