Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote provided he or she is 18 on election day, and can prove his or her identity and address. Canadians with criminal records vote in the same manner as other Canadians.

Canadians that are incarcerated also have the right to vote via special ballot. The voting takes place in the institution ten days before the election day. Incarcerated voters can determine what riding they wish to vote in: The riding they lived in before incarceration, the riding their spouse or dependants currently reside in, the riding in which they were arrested, or the riding in which the court that convicted him or her is located.

Do you have criminal record because you were deported from Canada because of non leaving Canada on time?

Well, you certainly won't have a record in the United States, because it's not a crime in any State to be in someone else's country illegally. If you were simply deported and not convicted of any actual criminal offense in Canada, you won't have a criminal record there, either, however you are probably now listed as "ineligible to enter Canada" by the Canadian authorities.

Can an American join the military in Canada with a record?

The 'record' in question is suspect in association. Criminal or Vinyl? Big difference. An American w/a criminal record can't even get into Canada from my understanding, so no i think not. An expunged record is a whole different animal. An American w/a vinyl record wouldn't be a problem, so yes they could..
