I'm American born of Canadian born parents (both). I want to become a Canadian citizen and live there one day. How do I start the process?

Juan is correct. If one of your parents was a Canadian citizen when you were born, you are probably entitled to Canadian citizenship. Neither Canada nor the US forbids dual citizenship. You only need to apply for confirmation of your citizenship and a Canadian passport at the nearest consulate. Note, though, that you must do this before you reach age 28: see the reference below.

You was born in America but your parents are both Canadian citizens right. this happens a lot in the oil fields around the world to Americans, Canadians, and British.
This is a little different than you just wanting to become a Canadian citizen.
There is a way to get your Canadian citizenship under that condition. Your parents will need to go to the Canadian Consulate to apply for your Canadian citizenship for you if you are under age. If not then you will have to go yourself with your parent's birth certificates proving they are Canadian citizens and were Canadian citizens at the time of your birth. From then on it is just a matter of the proper paper work.

Write to the Canadian Immigration Department and prove your Parents are Canadian born and i'm sure they would let you have citizenship.

ha ha. .its opposite with me but anyway-- you can apply for something called dual citizenship. so basically-- live in canada until you are a permanent citizen and then apply for citizenship so u will be american and canadian citizen

you have to apply for a visa I think. if you are going to live in both countries you have to declare that you permanently live in one. why not just visit?
