What are the rules about being Dual Citizenship in US and Canada?
Answer:
Here is a site with all U.S. laws relating to dual citizenship. I hope you find it useful
First, I would confirm that your mom actually was a Canadian Citizen when you were born. She might not be. Some people from Canada who became a citizen of another country before before 1977, lost there Canadian citizenship. You will need to check. Your mom might not even know that she is not a Canadian citizen.
Second, you might need to work this out before you turn 28.
Third, you can be both a US and Canadian citizen with no restriction. You do not have to choose one or the other.
This is what the Canadian Immigration website says:
Born Outside Canada after
February 14, 1977:
You are a Canadian citizen if you were born outside Canada and:
you were born after February 14, 1977; and
you had a parent who was Canadian at the time of your birth.
Was your parent also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent?
If your Canadian parent was also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent (your grandparent), you may need to take steps to keep your citizenship. You need to take these steps before you turn 28 years old. If you do not take these steps, you could lose your Canadian citizenship. This is true even if you are living in Canada.
Good luck!
No.
You can have that Dual Citizenship Status for the rest of your life.
No, you never have to pick one over the other, ever. I have dual US/Canadian citizenship and so does my eldest child who was born in Canada. I was born in the US and immigrated to Canada and subsequently was naturalized in Canada. It is the best of both worlds! I never have any trouble whatsoever going back and forth over the border between US and Canada. I live near the border in Canada and have been considering lately to work in the US by commuting back and forth daily.
