Can PRs vote in municipal elections?
- Thread starter AllisonVSC
- Start date
I have been wondering about this too. I checked Wikipedia and I found this :
A Permanent Resident holds many of the same rights and responsibilities as a Canadian citizen, among others the right to work for any enterprise as well as for the federal or provincial government (under restriction of access rights to certain regulated professions). The main differences are that residents cannot:
vote in federal, provincial or municipal elections in Canada
run for elected office,
hold Canadian passports, nor
join Canada's armed forces
Permanent residents also risk deportation for serious crimes committed while resident in Canada. Permanent residents may apply for Canadian citizenship after three years in Canada, however this is not mandatory.
