Canada allows dual citizenship...... maybe it's just a matter of her not
renouncing her Canadian citizen status. CM "katysails" wrote in message ... I thought you couldn't hold dual citizenship in the US unless you were under 18....

The US does not require dual citizens to choose one citizenship when they reach a certain age. Some other countries do have this type of requirement. So, a person who was a citizen of both the US and a country with such a requirement would have to choose only one citizenship. But, it would be the other country that is forcing him to make the choice, not the US. If neither country requires a choice, then the person can remain a dual citizen for life. This website discusses the US policies on Dual Citizenship, along with the many misunderstandings surrounding it. It is, surprisingly, allowed in many/most cases. http://www.richw.org/dualcit/ Stephen Gallagher |

As far as the US is concerned, she did renounce it, because the US naturalization oath has a statement of renunciation. BUT, that statement has no affect under Canadian law, and Canadian law determines who is and who isn't a Canadian citizen. So, while she must deal with the US as a US citizen, she can continue to deal with Canada as a Canadian because Canada says that she is a Canadian. Stephen Gallagher |

I can't become a Canadian citizen without losing my Belgian citizenship. Belgium does not allow dual citizenship..... odd for a European country within the EEC. I have elected to remain as a Permanent Resident of Canada. The only advantage I have with a Canadian citizenship is the ability to vote..... and to date I have never been able to cast a vote in my entire life. CM |

Do they know something about you? |

I have to renew my passport every 5 years. But it begs the question... why would I even want to vote on an election in Belgium? CM |

citizenship... Canada being one of them. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com wrote in message ups.com... Capt.

I thought you couldn't hold dual citizenship in the US unless you
were under 18.... http://www.post-gazette.com/nation/2...dual0515p4.asp An interesting article, but there are several blatently incorrect statements in it. The statement that Britain considers citizenship to be irrevocable, for example. That's incorrect. If a British citizen wants to give up his citizenship, he can do so by visiting a British consulate and signing a statement of renunciation. That's just one of several inaccuracies. Stephen |
