I would have to say I can't think of a situation where I would give up my British passport. Not for American citizenship or citizenship anywhere else. As for having an American passport, I imagine there would be times when it would be downright inconvenient to have one, such as when I visited Cuba last year. Again, from fairly extensive travelling experience, I found a British passport helped massively in terms of ease of entry into a country. Again, I would name countries such as: Cuba, Vietnam, Singapore, India. Of course, there may be countries where a British passport could be a negative.

My own take on the issue is that I would rather not give up my Canadian citizenship. There are definite advantages having a Canadian passport over an American one. Not the least being is that the general perception is that Canada is the nice guy of the world, as opposed to the idea of the US being rather bellicose. I've been in a few situations in the past where being Canadian got me out of some trouble, when it became clear that I was Canadian and not American. larry -- Larry C.
