While Canada has never had any restriction against dual nationality, it did discriminate against children born abroad to marrried Canadian women as compared with Canadian men. (Many countries did that; only in 1999 did the last European country, San Marino, end such discrimination.)
The result of allowing a child to "inherit" nationality from both parents equally is a striking rise in the incidence of dual (and multiple) nationality.
Some would say that "divided allegiance" of this sort creates a potential "fifth column" of hyphenated Canadians.
But Canada -- even more than the USA with its notorious internment of Japanese Americans during World War II -- has evil historical baggage: the deportation of Canadian-born citizens of Japanese extraction after the war ended. Here's the case: http://uniset.ca/other/ths/cooperative.html (affirmation by the Privy Council in London; Canada has since made its own Supreme Court the final court of appeal). Canadian newspapers and churches eventually put a stop to the deportations, but it remains a blot in parallel with the notorious "None is Too Many" epithet that kept Jewish refugees from enetering Canada during the Holocaust. http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-71-1579-10644/conflict_war/echoes_of_auschwitz/clip5
Today, Canada -- like the USA and most other target countries for migration -- styles itself a multicultural nation. Countries generally -- Germany (so long as one parent is a German citizen), Turkey, Mexico and many Latin American countries have in recent years changed their laws to allow multiple nationality without forfeiture of their own. Still, foreign politicians sometimes tactlessly go public with their calls for allegiance of their expatriates abroad.
The arguments in defence of multicultural citizenship are best articulated today by the Canadian professor of philosophy Will Kymlica, especially in his book "Multicultural Citizenship". See below for links.

Your question is not clear. Many countries in the world allow multiple citizenship; others do not. Here is a good reference:

I do not think it benefits it all. According to statistics canada, many people who do not have existing family in canada leave the country and take thier wealth with them.
canada also allows immigrants to be out of the country longer without losing stautus than the us does.
