Shouldn't be able to vote until you become a citizen and pay taxes.
@938SRZ83yrs3Y
Yes, permanent residents should be allowed to vote. They work, buy homes, pay taxes, send kids to local school etc. etc.
@9P39F5F7mos7MO
If they are citizens then should be allowed to vote no matter how long they’ve been here for. If they pay taxes and they are citizens
@8NYJKJ24yrs4Y
No if they don’t have there citizenship if yes then I think they should be able to vote
@8QWVY574yrs4Y
if they are not canadian then nooo
@8SLY6Q24yrs4Y
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.
@8MS74JB4yrs4Y
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.
@8SDSV3C4yrs4Y
Yes but after living in the country for 3 years
