How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship?

      If you have a canadian ancestor you can get in fairly quickly. If you have 10 million to invest you can buy your way in. Other than that, it’s not easy. I think they have quotas from countries.

        You are a nurse, so you shouldn’t have too much problem with a skilled visa like any first world country.

        As for other people, it depends on your skills and if a person or company will sponsor your visa.

          Is dual citizenship even a thing anymore? I thought they stopped doing that but I could be wrong. (Edit: I’m probably wrong.)

          Here is a list of programs you may be able to take advantage of to come to Canada. https://ircc.canada.ca/explore-programs/index.asp Not sure if it’ll help, but it’s worth a try.

          There is also bill C-3, which allows people who’ve had ancestors here claim citizenship. https://immigration.ca/claiming-canadian-citizenship-by-descent-under-canadas-new-citizenship-act-bill-c-3/ (Not a gov’t site, but has a decent breakdown of C-3)

          Good luck! I hope you find something that works for your bro.

                  How does that work with taxes, don’t dual US citizens have to pay US fed tax on pay earned abroad?

                  I belive Canada just made it super easy for anyone who has a Canadian ancestor to get citizenship, even multiple generations ago. Might check your family tree.

                      Is that so? I believe my grandfather was Canadian, or his parents were. Wonder if I could use that.

                          These are the changes to our Citizenship Act. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/act-changes.html

                          Alternatively, this is a list of programs you may be able to use to get your foot in the door. https://ircc.canada.ca/explore-programs/index.asp

                      The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

                      Rules (interactive)


                      Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

                      All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



                      Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

                      Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



                      Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

                      Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



                      Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

                      That’s it.



                      Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

                      Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



                      Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

                      Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

                      On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

                      If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



                      Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

                      If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

                      Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



                      Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

                      Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

                      Let everyone have their own content.



                      Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
