Question for anyone up on their Canadian immigration laws?:)?
My husband is a Canadian citizen, but not natural born (he was born in El Salvador). He’s lived in the U.S. since he was 16 (yes, legally, ALWAYS). He’s just about to get permanent residency here, and after that comes though he will be able to apply for his citizenship.
However, he doesn’t want to get his citizenship for the U.S. unless he knows for sure that he will be able to keep his Canadian citizenship as well. He is VERY proud to be a Canadian (as well he should be:0)) To quote him, “The only reason I’m still in this damn country is because of you. I want to go home!”
We may end up in Canada one day in the long run, bu if we are going to be here a while it might be worth our while to get him his citizenship. We ask because the rule used to be you couldn’t have dual citizenship unless you were born in one of the countries, which he wasn’t. But, he thinks he heard that the rule changed, and maybe he can. Does anyone know? Thanks.
He’s not worried about the U.S. recognizing his citizenship, he just wants to make sure Canada will always welcome him with open arms. He got there when he was 8 years old (leaving a war-torn El Salvador), got citizenship with his family, and loves Canada… I’d like to say only slightly less than me, but I’m afraid to ask because I don’t want him to confirm that Canada means more to him than his wife.
