I am a native born American. In about six months, I will become eligible to apply for Mexican Citizenship by virtue of my years here and marriage to a national. I do not want to give up my US citizenship when I become a Mexican.
I have Canadian friends who went to the Mexican office in Queretaro, where I live, that handles naturalization. They were told they would have to pledge allegiance to Mexico and forsake their Canadian citizenship. I do beleive the first part, but have doubts about the second assertion.
The little research I have done says both the US and Mexico recognize dual citizenship by naturalization. I don't know about Canada.
I further understand that it takes a specific act of revocation by a US citizen at the US Embassy to lose citizenship. I don't plan to do that and further do not believe that Mexico will require that I do so. I have met Americans who have been naturalized. They never mentioned any loss of citizenship.
Does anybody have the facts on this matter?
