Sure you could vote, in Canada :) I would think you would need to serve in this country in order to get the vote.
Also by serve I mean something along the lines of what Germany requires. You don't have to go into the military, just a period of 'civil service', in most cases that would mean the military, but could be hospitals, social work, road crews, things like that, for conscientious objectors and pacifists. I mean we have to be inclusive right? Larry C. Lyons wrote: > How would that affect people like me, if I get citizenship. I've > served in the Canadian military (reserves mostly).
