To be more specific, my father was serving in the US Armed Forces when he met and married my mother, a Spanish citizen. I was born in her country, and was promptly registered in the US Consulate there and have carried my FS-240 form throughout my childhood and teenaged years. During my father's absences due to military duty, we lived with my mother's family in Spain throughout my childhood and teenage years, and except for a couple of years, I didn't move to the US until I was 2 weeks from my 20th birthday. We were told by the consulate that if I didn't move to the US after being away for 10 years, I would lose my citizenship.
Once I moved to the US, I lived and worked there, and paid my taxes for nearly 30 years, until I met a Canadian man on the internet and recently moved to Canada and married him over the Summer. If I stay in Canada, could I lose my US citizenship? I do have my FS 240 along with my passport to prove my citizenship.
