Dual citizenship for Canadian refugees?

[scylla]

Please be mindful, if you do get the passport from your original country (and especially if you travel there) it could be seen that you no longer need refugee status from that country and you could be repatriated there. Be very careful.

You're responding to a post from 8 years ago. Sort of pointless to do that.

... unless someone else has the same question.. hmm?

Is that because of the refugee status or just in general? My country of origin recognizes dual citizenship and allows me to hold both. The only way for me to lose it is if I renounce it - is that what I did once I sought asylum in Canada?

In this case you haven't lost anything. You can go ahead and apply for your country's passport as you wish. Canada has no problem with this, it allows unrestricted multiple citizenships.
