As a lady friend of my wife and me told us many, many years ago: "It's always handy to have a number of different passports you can fall back on." She had three or four different citizenships. From the stories we heard from her (she was born in England, but had taught for a few years in Finland, near the Russian border) we could never quite figure out whether she picked up multiple citizenship legitimately (perhaps from each of her mother and father, plus being born in England, plus coming to the U.S. and being naturalized) or whether she had beeen some sort of British agent at the time. She certainly had the smarts and the guts for the latter.

Um, it helps if you want to stay for a long period of time in that country. Some countries only allow vistors a visa for like up to 3 months (or shorter/longer)...some of those countries will allow you to renew it if you decide to stay longer than that but other countries will not allow you to renew it. This is where dual citizenship can come in handy.

I do not believe you get into troubles because of the dual citizenship.

it's good in the fact that you can work/live on either side of the border. if you work enough years in Canada and USA, then when you retire you're entitled to BOTH Canada pension AND social security.
added: that's a misconception. BOTH countries would have an interest in your safety.

yes it is : ex:
if you were to marry a citizen of another country ? and you 2 have children ? both of you would want your children to have and hold each others nationality?
it would be a nice gift to your children and it would keep both of the heritage going along in the years ....... :-)
it certainly cannot hurt ..... :-)

Sure . . . It shows your allegiance to both countries . . . Plus, you don't have all the paperwork to contend with every time you cross the border . . .
