I am a Candian Citizen living in the US. If i apply for US citizenship, may i obtain dual citizenship?

Question

Philippine born; Grew up in Canada, Currently living in the US.

Answer 1

Is it possible to have dual citizenship in the US? yes. Do you qualify? It depends on your circumstances.

Answer 2

I know this from personal experience. The US does allow people to hold dual citizenship. You need to check the laws of the country that you are a citizen of to make sure that they do not revoke your citizenship once you apply for the American one. In some countries, you have to file a special petition to be allowed to keep your original citizenship.

Answer 3

At the time of your US citizenship ceremony you will be asked to relinquish all allegiance to your former coutry, in your case canada. However, the US authoriites will not ask you to sign or write anything to relinquish it. It is simply a declaration. The US does not have the right to take your canadian passport. It is not their right, it does not belong to them it belongs to the Canadian government. Only the canadian government have the right to take your passport. Making a delclaration to the US authorities to relinquish canadian citizenship for the purposes of obtaining usa citizenship has no bearing under canadian law. Now, you can become a US citizen , it is up to you to find out if Canada recognises dual citizenship? if they do you will become a dual national

Answer 4

US doesn't require any American who has citizenship with yet another usa to renounce their citizenship. So, someone ought to actual be both an American and an Australian, yet they could be required to apply their US passport to bypass out and in of the U. S..

Answer 5

U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another.
