Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's not a question of visa. We ask for un titre de séjour. In English, it's a residency permit by the foreign country.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I have two reactions on a hypothetical. First, it would be very difficult in terms of human resources to process registrations in a specific window. Already our system allows citizens to register at any time. Unfortunately, we see many compatriots registering at the last minute,

Procedure and House Affairs committee  For instance, if your father, your son, or your daughter is a voter in one riding, then you can register in that riding.
