You Go, Bear!

My friend, Ed, formerly of Raleigh-Durham has, as of today (a few hours ago, actually), officially departed the USA for Canadian Citizenship and a blissful married life with Jon.

Many years.

I’m curious.

According to Canadian law today one can have dual citizenship so Canadian subjects can take American citizenship without losing their Canadian status. (Until relatively recently if you did that you forfeited it.) Also true of Brits and Aussies. That’s why Peter Jennings (RIP) and Robert MacNeil were/are both American citizens and members of the Order of Canada, that country’s top civilian honour, and Sir Anthony Hopkins gets to keep his knighthood even though he’s now happily an American citizen. (The UK has always claimed its natives even if they take other citizenship.)

I know the US claims you exclusively unless you are foreign, take US citizenship and your old country still claims you (see above)… but if an American takes Canadian or other citizenship does that forfeit US citizenship? I don’t think it does any more. I know of cases of immigrants from America becoming British subjects and retaining their US passports as well.

I don’t know… I’d assumed the “old way”. But I’ll ask.

Serge -

Ed says, one doesn’t have to give up US citizenship if you get Canadian citizenship. The process is several years away anyhow…for now, he’s a US Citizen living as a permanent resident in Canada.

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh".

This is the self-ruled blog of an Christian attempting to follow God in the Way of Jesus... sometimes. I most identify with the Anglican and Liberal Catholic flavours. I am a Confederate American sojourning in Buffalo, NY.

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men.
