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, if they come to Canada on a student visa / work visa and are working towards a better life abiding by our counties laws etc, I believe obtaining citizenship should be easier and yes, they should be able to keep their home countries citizenship as well.
@9VJ6C4K6mos6MO
Yes, after they have proven they contribute to the Canadian economy and have not committed any serious crimes.
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.
@9FQY4MY2yrs2Y
Those with clean records and backgrounds, yes. Those with criminal records and links to terrorism or people that threaten the safety of others should not be allowed.
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.
@8JJW7RW4yrs4Y
No. I don’t believe dual citizens should be allowed to live and work in another country, but fly to Canada for free Healthcare.
@8G5PZTWConservative5yrs5Y
Yes except for middle eastern countries or communist countries.
@8F3PG2ZConservative5yrs5Y
@95GHC593yrs3Y

@8X6L4RS3yrs3Y
Yes if it seems like a good option
@8X2LCJJ3yrs3Y
No, they must be completely loyal to the communist party
@8V8L4X34yrs4Y
No, unless the other citizenship is part of a common wealth country.
@8PXLL2V4yrs4Y
Yes, unless serious crime or terrorism or treason has been committed
