Anyone have dual citizenship?

My father in law who lives in central Florida has his green card. The only way he can sponsor an adult child in is if the child is divorced. I jokingly asked my wife if she should serve me with papers so we can get her and the kids down there with me to follow

Beef, if looking to move to the US and you have a job lined up I think it is relatively easy for your potential employer to get a NAFTA visa. It is basically designed for people coming to work temporarily and not emigrate.

 

If Beef's mother was born here, he doesn't need loopholes or temporary visas.

 

Thank you all. Yes I am looking to expand my employment opportunities. It's something I want to have figured out before I start applying to make for an easier job application process -- I figure itmaes me a lot more attractive to an employer if I can say I have dual citizenship and I don't have to go through a visa application process to see if this job I'm in line for can actually now go ahead.

But it goes beyond just job opportunities. I have always identified myself as half Canadian, half American as all of my family's history goes back to the U.S., to the Civil War and earlier. I am an Amocan.

It was actually a process I had started in college, basically had got the paperwork to see if I qualified, then 9-11 happened and my dad made me promise I wouldn't, etc. he was sure there would be a draft. And I know a lot has changed since then.

Again thank you, I will be going through all of those links with a fine-toothed comb.

 

Vancouver Island is amazing, but this job is not an end point for me.

 

I was only half kidding. Clearly, if you have dual citizenship, that opens all sorts of doors for you. However, if you vote Republican, you'll automatically forfeit your Canauck citizenship

 

You can travel to Cuba using a Canadian or other non-U.S. passport, but you are still subject to the restrictions on American passport-holders, so if the U.S. finds out about it, you'll still get in trouble.

 

I'll be truly Canadian and vote for the third party, the Libertarians. I'm right wing by Canadian standards, but I'm not Republican right wing.

 

No interest in going to Cuba anyways, too hot. I'll smoke their cigars when I come north to vist family

 

There has been a huge de-emphasis on the US govt going after Americans that go to Cuba that only accelerated when Obama got elected. Not to hijack Beef's thread but I can't recommend seeing Havana before the government changes.

 

We have a Libertarian party?

The Harper gov is right wing enough for me.

 

I think you gather what I'm saying, stretching beyond just the two established parties is all I'm gettign at.

 

I have dual Canadian/US citizenship due to a change in Canadian citizenship law a few years ago. In my situation I simply had to supply my birth certificate and my mother's, and pay about $180.00 - one visit to the consulate took care of it. The only tangible benefit is that now I could easily move to Canada (under the specific law change covering my situation I'm not allowed to confer citizenship status to my daughter, something that some are fighting about) and get a Canadian passport. All other benefits (pension, health etc.) require living in the country for a specific period of time. Someday I plan on doing that, if not permanently, at least for an extended period.
