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

If they pay taxes and have been living in the country for two or more years and with continue to live in the country.

 @8NYJKJ2from British Columbia answered…3yrs3Y

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

(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.

 @9L9LGGRfrom British Columbia answered…3wks3W

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.

 @9L3MN22New Democraticfrom British Columbia answered…1mo1MO

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

 @9KTQHSCfrom Ontario answered…1mo1MO

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.

 @9KKLP5Yfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

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.

 @9K5T3M7from Ontario answered…2mos2MO

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

 @9K53PFYfrom Ontario answered…2mos2MO

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.

 @9JQ8T5Jfrom Alberta answered…3mos3MO

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

 @9JNDJ6Rfrom Alberta answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @9JC6BKVfrom Ontario answered…3mos3MO

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.

 @92T3N5Pfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

 @92RLQXMfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, they should be allowed to vote only in local elections and then after 2 years of residence, they can vote in any election.

 @92M8FFHfrom Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

Local and provincial yes, Federal after being in the country for 4 years.

 @92JSYQJfrom British Columbia answered…2yrs2Y

If they have lived here for 3 or more years by the election and are planning on staying in Canada for many years

 @92HBW9Cfrom Alberta answered…2yrs2Y

yes, provided that they pay taxes and have lived in residency for 5 years

 @92FG9XQfrom Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

 @92DD9S3from Ontario answered…2yrs2Y

If they live here, of course. However, if they are a visitor rather than a resident they should not.

 @922WVXDfrom Manitoba answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but only after they have actually became a Canadian otherwise its just another country voting for another country.

Only citizens and permanent residents should be able to vote. Tourists and visitors can't vote in an election of a country that isn't theirs.
