to get dual US/CA citizenship!

THANK YOU BRTS! This is so exciting. I've been bummed for years (esp. since late 2016) that it was only children who could get CA citizenship thru lineage (so my mom could've applied, but not me), and now it includes me! Grandma born in Canada, both HER parents born in Canada, I have hers, my mom's, and my BC's, showing direct lineage!

Any DU'ers with dual USA/CA citizenship (esp. living in the USA) tell me if there's anything that's BAD about having both/what are any hassles involved with it?

I consider myself Canadian in mind. I live in red Kansas and have only been to Canada a couple of times... wcmagumba Yesterday #1

So, if it turns out you are a quarter Canadian, does that mean ICE is going to cut that part off and deport it? LudwigPastorius Yesterday #2
