Hi, My husband and I have been living happily in the USA for many years and I have received my American citizenship a couple years ago. We are thinking of starting a family and I would like to move back to Canada with my husband. I'm not sure if I'm in the Canada part of this website, but I tried to. He is worried he would have to renounce his American citizenship. When I got my Canadian citizenship I didn't buy I've heard of you are a USA citizenship moving to Canada you have to. Is this true? Is there a way to have both still for him? Does anyone know anything about starting this process?

Hi I am now a US citizen and my SSN card still says "valid for work only with DHS authorization". What is the best way to get this removed? The quickest? Do I have to go in person? Thanks everyone!!!

Hello, I received my citizenship after going through the green card process (from Canada) and I am going to be moving house soon for the first time since receiving my citizenship. I am curious if now that I am a citizen, I need to update them with address changes or since the process is more or less complete that this is not necessary? Also noticed that my social security number card says valid with DHS authorization. What should I do about this now that I am a citizen?

I remember hearing a few years ago that you could apply for PR in Canada I'm advance so you could theoretically arrive once you had your PR? Is that correct? Also, do I need to have $ to sponsor him, he is in the breadwinner and we don't have independent finances. Thanks so much for your response

Hello all, Several years ago I started my immigration journey to the states and a year and a halfish ago I became a US citizen (now ha e dual canadian/us) via a marriage green card! My husband is a US citizen. As we are looking to start a family, we are considering moving to Nova Scotia where my family is, as housing is affordable and we want to be near my family as we have kids. But the process to essentially start all over again in a different country with immigration is so daunting. 1. Does anyone know what the immigration process would be like for my husband? I'm curious how he would work (as he is the main breadwinner) while in the immigration process of a marriage based citizenship. 2. He works for himself, also curious how that would be impacted by moving countries/immigrating. Starting his business again on the other coast. 3. What's the timeline right now to become a Canadian citizen? 4. Anything else you think would be helpful advice or knowledge when reading about our situation? Helpful answers would be so appreciated, from one human to another. Thanks!

Thank you for answering some of my questions. Should I be filing in Canada now? I left when I was 21, so never really had an income there and clearly havent since. I've never understood that and honestly forgot about it entirely.

Hello all, Years ago I started my immigration journey to the states and a year and a halfish ago I became a US citizen (now ha e dual canadian/us) via a marriage green card! My husband is a US citizen. As we are looking to start a family, we are considering moving to Nova Scotia where my family is, as housing is affordable and we want to be near my family as we have kids. This website seems to be US based only, but does anyone have any knowledge on the following questions or point me towards someone/a website who does? I've looked into lawyers and even the cheapest ones are so unaffordable. Money is really tight right now for us. 1. If I move back to Canada, will I lose my US citizenship? 2. Most importantly, the process to essentially start all over again in a different country with immigration is so daunting. This website was enormously helpful and there doesn't seem to be anything like this for people moving to Canada. Does anyone know what the immigration process would be like for my husband? I'm curious how he would work (as he is the main breadwinner) and what the steps to apply for marriage based Canadian citizenship would be like for him. 3. He works for himself, also curious how that would be impacted by moving countries/immigrating. Starting his business again on the other coast. 4. How does this work with his US citizenship- does the US gov really care that much or could he have both? I am sorry if this is totally the wrong place for this. I'm just so lost and anxious and this site was such a saving grace for me before. Helpful answers would be so appreciated, from one human to another. Thanks!

Hello! I received my naturalization certificate yesterday! I am now a dual Canadian/American citizen!!! I feel like I keep reading and hearing some conflicting information on passport etiquette. Since I am residing in the USA- do I leave and enter the states (when I am going to visit Canada) on my USA passport? Could I use my Canadian one? I feel like they would wonder why I am living in the USA and using my Canadian passport with no greencard? My other question is that I really want to be able to go home for Christmas. I’ve heard that if you have travel within 14 days you can get an emergency passport appointment and sometimes get a same day passport… But how do I book my flight when I don’t have an American passport yet? I’ve heard that you must leave with the same passport you enter with? I’ve heard I cannot leave the country until I have my new passport even though I have my Canadian one? When I am flying do I need to bring both passports?
