Should immigrants to Canada be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

Yes, as long as their country of departure is a favorable one for reciprocal trade. If they are coming from a place of horrible persecution or social control (China) they must renounce ties with that oppressive place.
only if they hold value to the country and accept and adhere to Canadian values. Why are foreign people allowed to build temples of worship and hold protests about their own countries problems in Canada where it has nothing to do with the canadian people.
