Hello ALL,
I dont know how frequently you have encountered such a situation or what is the legal position under Canadian immigration law. If I am a citizen of country Y(which does not recognise dual nationality), with Canadian PR status ,but, who also qualifies for Citizenship in country X (which like Canada, recognises dual citizenship) by virtue of having fulfilled relevant citizenship reqiurements there prior to obtaining PR status in Canada, will I lose my Canadian PR status, if I chose to apply for citizenship in country X anytime therafter?. Brief, will acquiring the citizenship of country X(even if I no longer leave there), after becoming a Canadian PR affect my PR status in Canada. I ask because I am a PR in canada as a citizen of country Y but I will like to abandon country Y citizenship, acquire country X citizenship for which I am qualified and have CIC update my records to reflect this change. Is that possible without affecting my PR status?
Thanks for your answer.
