Voting rights – Swiss living abroad If you are a Swiss living abroad and wish to vote at federal level you have to be registered at a Swiss diplomatic mission and be on the electoral roll of a Swiss commune (your commune of origin or former commune of residence). You can also take part in...

You didn't voted, your choice. You don't get to decide for others.

Why would you want to have a say? First let UK pull off voting rights for expats then maybe it will be a good starting point for this conversation.

Screech, Your logic is beyond common comprehension. So a "RESIDENT" rapist, pedophile, murderer, and other residents who have committed vile crimes are fine to vote; but a proud Canadian expat who is creating jobs, paying taxes, committed to help good cause Canadian charities is barred from...

Filing taxes has nothing to do with voting. An expat can file taxes and still not have the right to vote.

So is this true that a prisoner gets to keep his/her right to vote, but an expat loses his.

Another Harper tactic to prevent a lost election??

Expats who have stayed out of country for 5 or more years, are going to lose right to vote and will not be allowed to vote in coming federal elections. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/no-voting-rights-for-long-term-canadian-expats-appeal-court-rules/article25590714/?service=mobile

Just like that, no difference between day and night, only the absence of sun.

Torontosm, Do you have a source of the information on mortgage default being a criminal offence in middle east.

Canadian citizenship has in recent times (specially by Tory govt) downgraded to some club membership. Dont follow the club rules, your membership will be cancelled moreover further entry to the club will be denied.

Looking at this post i wonder that there should be a stupidity filter for members to join and post to this forum. Just by the way, you can pickup a fan for cheap from Canadian Tire. No need to attend the interview just for fan.

From what you have mentioned, its not an offence for which an applicant would be concerned.

Troll2, For some the path to citizenship is like a race. Sooner past the finish line, better it is. A perspective!!

He (MUFC) doesnt have a citizenship application in process, has Finland and American citizenship.He doesnt think Canadian citizenship would help him, but he is gonna apply for it anyway coming next year, for just in case scenarios.

Its not the neutrals post, its the SCCA law. The law is a potpourri of stupidities with few high-lights.

Let the stupidity rule through this Tory govt.

MUFC, You disregarded this provision on the basis that real intent is difficult to determine. But many believe that this difficulty in determination of intent will not stop CIC officers from attempting to make assumptions on the intent of the applicant and thus denying the application.

This provision in one of the key requirement. As there wont be a very concrete metric to measure/gauge intent, that leaves us with a high probability that it will be applied with a hit-and-miss approach. The CIC officers will make assumptions on intent, assumptions are prone to go wrong, and...

MUFC, Many (and i would say majority) believe that the intent to reside is NOT a symbolic attachment.
