I wore Canadian Socks to my oath ceremony!! lol!! People ask I stil say I'm Canadian, never bring up the fact that I now have USA citizenship. 100% Cdn!

Thats why we love ya flames.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Yep I'm fully US and Canadian right now. Never once yet heard of anyone going through all the process to actually denounce their Canadian citizenship or why anyone would even bother to do that since Canada will never force you to do so.

At my oath, I considered myself American and American only now, however, Canada will always claim me as theirs still. Not my problem they still want to think that ha ha.

On the good news, I can travel and work freely in either country whenever I want now without any worries.

Now if you were from Germany or Peru or India for instance, then you would have to give up your citizenship for the US one as neither of those nations will allow you to take on a foreign citizenship. I don't hear too much complaints about Germans or Peruvians on it, but the Indians are always conflicted because most their families live in India still and many own property still and want to go back to work etc. Which once they take the US oath, they no longer will be able to without obtaining a Indian work visa like the rest of us.

Still, I have yet to hear anyone that has actually gone through with denouncing their Canadian citizenship legally. I couldn't care less about it, but I'm not going to bother myself doing that though. I'll just keep both since they don't mind...

Just curious Warlord, why do you hang out in the Canada forum if you don't consider urself Canadian?

You can take the boy out of Canada but you can't take the Canada out of the boy.

:lol:

Yes I'm interested to know as well. You don't really seem to like Canada, you don't seem to have participated strongly in Canadian culture...and you would rather, it appears, denounce any Canadianess you have all together.

I'm not judging you, I'm just saying it appears that you never have many good things to say about Canada.

You can take the boy out of Canada but you can't take the Canada out of the boy.

Because

a ) A lot of the threads are fun

b ) I get to remember stuff I've forgotten from when I lived in Canada (good or bad)

c ) Help people in the process of hell that I had finished doing (especially TN status marriages)

d ) Good time waster at work

e ) Laughing at the differences people see between the two countries in regards to foods and things

Fair Enough. Sounds good to me.

My brother-in-law has apparently decided to take the "older siblings lie about everything route" with me and I rarely get a straight answer from him about anything. One of his favourite topics is what will happen when I go for citizenship.

"You know they bring an ape in there dressed like Lincoln. You have to WRESTLE it for citizenship."

"LIAR! Last week you said I'd have to get the constitution tattooed on my back!"

"Well, that too."

"Your mom is in my head right now, and she's saying don't do that."

"For Sale. One Parachute . Used only once, never been opened. Small stain."
