Actually, one CAN have multiple citizenships in special cases. But you are right, 2 is the standard.

Actually, Canada places no limit on the number of citizenships you are allowed.  So dual or multiple is fine.

BTW, Japanese descent, born and bred in East Van, baby!

I am french. I moved here 10 month ago and hope to stick around for a while. Dealing with immigration Canada is a pain in the A..

First season of salmon here (and in my whole life!) so I get pretty excited. I can't wait for sockeye.

Hey guys!  I never post here, I just watch but this is such an easy one to post to.  I am Canadian.  Both sides of my family are at least 4 generations deep as Canadians.  From what I have found out, it's all England, Scottland, and Ireland before that.  I sure would love to trace it back on day as far as I could.

German & Irish desent. Born on a Nato Airbase in German (My father was I the RCAF) so I was given birth abroad status. Which means I was given the right to choose citizenship in any of the Nato counties up until I was 25. If I did not choose, which I didn't I automaticly became a Canadian. So I like to tell people I a Canadian by default, make fro some interesting covesation and funny looks.
