Hi all,
I think this is my 1st time to post in here, and I wasnt sure where to post my qstn. I will appreciate answers, please.
I just came to US 2 months ago, with Immigrant Visa Category E22 processed in Montreal Canada. Up until then, I was in Canada for almost 4 years and eligible for Canadian Citizenship. However, I left Canada without applying for a canadian citizenship.
Does it make sense that I apply for this citizenship?
On the application form, a question asks if I am a permanent resident of another country, If i say Yes, is this a problem?
Anyone in this same situation?
Thank you, have a great day.
 
No it does not make sense.

Yes, it will most likely raise questions. You should have applied for Canadian citizenship as soon as you completed your 3 years as PR and before you moved to the US with an immigrant visa.

Applying for Candaian Citizenhsip as soon as you were eligible for it would have been very helpful.Were there any particular reasons for you to have not wanted to apply for Candian citizenship? You can always get US citizenship even if you are a Canadian Citizen.

I wanted to, but, I had lost my PR and would take 3 months to replace it(now I have it). as well as my Passport was at the Consulate in Montreal (for 19 months awaiting security clearance) for the US immigrant visa. I guess I was not meant to be a Canadian, sad, but I gotta move on now. Thanks for replying.

Thanks for the reply. I had my doubts but I just wanted to be sure, and that I dont get in trouble with immigration. Blessings to your day.
