Andrewwhyte 1 #27 February 25, 2008 QuoteQuoteAs far as I know there is no country I cannot share my Canadian citizenship with. My sister has declined to get British citizenship even though she has lived there for twenty years because that would cost the kids their Canadian passports (they were born there). That i dont think is completly correct now. It use to be that if your father was born in the uk your children can get a uk passport. Now i think if your mother has a uk passport her children can also get one. I know many canadians, australians, south africans, new zealanders that have dual citizenship without having to give their passports up for their land of birth That is all correct. However My niece and nephews get their Canadian citizenship by heritage rather than by birth. If my sister obtains UK citizenship her two minor children lose their heritage rights in Canada; the eldest is eighteen and not affected by the actions of his mother.

nerdgirl 0 #30 February 26, 2008 Quote I'm just saying IF you were required to leave the country that you're in/from to marry or stay with your significant other... -would you? Neat question - thanks for posting it. And interesting to read the responses. Would I? Move for a man who I loved - Yes. Particularly if it was to someplace like Norway (). I would consider moving temporarily (e.g., up to ~5, 10, 15 years) to almost anyplace ... yes, almost anyplace ... on the planet. When one starts to consider raising a family or a permanent move, exceptions pop up: Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Myanmar (nee Bhutan), DPRK, Saudi Arabia. A few of those places I would *not* move, even temporarily, if I was asked to give up my American citizenship. Not just 'no' but 'hell, no.'
