Do I need to give up my current citizenship to become a Canadian citizen?

Asked 6 months ago
No, you do not need to give up your current citizenship to become a Canadian citizen. Canada allows dual citizenship, which means that you can hold multiple citizenships simultaneously. If you choose to become a Canadian citizen, you will be able to retain your current citizenship. However, it is important to note that some countries may not allow dual citizenship or may have specific regulations regarding dual citizenship. It is advisable to check with your home country's authorities or embassy to determine any potential implications or requirements when acquiring Canadian citizenship. Additionally, understanding the rights and responsibilities associated with dual citizenship may be helpful in making an informed decision.
