关于非选民（如果 PR 卡）收到选民信息卡（Voter Information Card），加拿大选举局给出的回应：
英文原文：
Elections Canada has been informed that duplicate voter information cards have been printed and mailed by mistake to some registered electors, who are instructed to return their card to their local Elections Canada office.
That said, we’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate that it’s illegal for permanent residents living in Canada that are not Canadian citizens to vote.
To vote in a federal election, you must be a Canadian citizen, be at least 18 years old on election day and prove your identity and address. You must also be registered to vote.
Additionally, when you register, you must declare or confirm your citizenship.
Therefore, a citizenship declaration has been made, at one point or other, for all individuals registered in the National Register of Electors as part of the registration process, including in a consent question on federal forms (i.e. CRA tax return, Canadian citizenship application). In other words, before casting a ballot, everyone first had to declare that they are qualified to vote. While being on the National Register of Electors in error is not an offence under the Canada Elections Act, it is an offence to vote when you are not eligible to do so. Individuals who break the law can face fines and imprisonment.
The federal electoral process has many safeguards, including measures that keep voter registrations accurate and up to date. We continuously work to ensure that only the names of Canadian citizens appear on the Register and on lists of electors. To make sure that those who are registered are eligible, Elections Canada maintains the National Register of Electors using data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to confirm the citizenship of those on the register, and we remove the names of those confirmed to be non-citizens.
Any potential occurrence of illegal voting identified is referred to the Commissioner of Canada Elections who is responsible to investigate.
Any Canadian non-citizen receiving a voter information card should call the local Election Canada office, mentioned on the card, to have their name remove from National Register of Electors. They can also find the contact information of the local Elections Canada office by entering their postal code in the Voter Information System.

中文简述：
加拿大选举局近日发现部分登记选民收到了重复的选民信息卡，并要求收到重复卡片的选民将其退还至当地选举办公室。
选举局借此机会重申：加拿大永久居民（非公民）没有投票权，投票属于违法行为。
根据加拿大法律，联邦选举的投票资格包括：
•必须是加拿大公民
•至少在选举日年满 18 岁
•能证明身份和住址
•完成选民登记并声明自己是加拿大公民
所有在“国家选民登记册”中登记的人都需在注册过程中（例如报税表或公民申请表）确认公民身份。虽然误列入登记册本身不违法，但非公民若参与投票，则属违法行为，可能面临罚款或监禁。
为了确保选民资料的准确性，加拿大选举局会与移民、难民及公民事务部（IRCC）共享数据，以核实公民身份，并将确认为非公民的人从选民名单中剔除。
一旦发现非法投票行为，将由加拿大选举事务专员（Commissioner of Canada Elections）调查处理。
如果非加拿大公民收到了选民信息卡，请联系卡片上标示的当地选举办公室，申请将自己的名字从选民登记册中删除。也可通过邮政编码在选举局官网查找相关联系方
式。
