Thank you for the reply so that means I'm good to work in US without giving up my Canadian citizenship I applied in 2014 and became citizen in 2015 before the new bill/law came in effect

Hi All,

I'm from India but in 2015 I became Canadian Citizen via Naturalization. I got job offer in USA and I have accepted the offer. My question is by taking the job offer I'm not jeopardizing my Canadian Citizenship. I'm and will remain Canadian Citizen for my life even though I work in USA for 10-15 years. The only way I can lose my citizenship if I renounce like i did for India.

Hope to have answer for my post ASAP

Thanks

you are right but if you got TN visa then every 1 year you have to renew it at any border post.

bill c24 is so confusing. I wonder if this is not just a waste of time

No, it has been renewal every 3 years since a few years back

I know that.

The problem is that in theory, until Bill C-24 is repealed, leaving for another country later could be used as evidence that, at the time of taking the oath, the applicant hadn't originally intended to remain in Canada and therefore misrepresented himself.

Nobody has ever had their citizenship stripped under this provision of C-24, so it's hard to know how it would be applied. But the possibility that things would play out as I describe was one of the major arguments against this part of C-24.

Unlike other people bill C-24 won't be applicable to somebody who renounce their previous citizenship.
In case of the asker, since Canadian is his only citizenship it can not be revoked, as revocation is only applicable to dual citizens

This is incorrect. The requirement is that Government is able to "assert" that the person is "eligible" for citizenship elsewhere. Government does not have to prove their assertion.

Example 1: a person who has a single great-great-grandparent from India can have their citizenship revoked and be deported to India, regardless of whether they are citizens of India, because they are "eligible" for Indian citizenship under Indian law.

Example 2: if all of a person's great-grandparents were born in Britain and all of their grandparents were born in Canada, that person could not have their citizenship revoked because they are not eligible for British citizenship under British law.
