officially no. The oath you swear/affirm doesn't allow such - to quote: "that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;"
And up to a few years ago Canada allowed dual citizenship, you had to go before a consular official to renounce it. Now however taking an oath like the Oath of Allegiance is enough from what I understand. As for my reasons, I'd prefer to keep them private for now. I have discussed it with some on this list in the past however. On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 12:22 PM, G Money <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 11:08 AM, Larry C.
