Reader Approved wikiHow to Have Dual Citizenship in the US and Canada

The U.S. Department of State or Bureau of Consular Affairs and Citizenship and Immigration Canada allows for citizens to have dual citizenships, meaning it is not required for you to give up citizenship if you plan to obtain a second foreign nationality. However, the methods you are able to obtain dual citizenship vary between Canada and the United States of America. When you have successfully acquired dual citizenship, you pledge allegiance to both countries and are required and expected to follow the laws of both countries. Having dual citizenship can be quite beneficial if you travel between the two countries a lot or have a permanent resident in one or both countries, allowing you to vote in elections and receive benefits from both countries.
