Everything You Need to Know About Canadian Dual Citizenship
What is Dual Citizenship? 🛂
Dual citizenship means you can be a citizen of two countries at the same time. Canada allows dual citizenship, meaning you can hold Canadian citizenship while also being a citizen of another country.
Benefits of Dual Citizenship 🌍
With dual citizenship, you enjoy the rights and privileges of both countries. In Canada, this includes the right to vote, access healthcare, and live and work freely. It also means easier travel between your two countries and internationally.
How to Get Dual Citizenship 📋
If you are already a Canadian citizen, you don’t lose your status by becoming a citizen of another country. Similarly, those immigrating to Canada can generally keep their original citizenship while gaining Canadian citizenship.
Important Considerations ⚖️
Each country has its own laws about dual citizenship. It’s important to understand the rules in both countries before making decisions about your citizenship.
