You have to be more specific.. Canada does allow dual citizenship, so as far as the Canadian government is concerned, there's nothing to be done. But, depending on his other nationality some might be required. Some countries do not allow multiple citizenship, in which case you have to choose.
In my case, as an Egyptian, when I acquire the Canadian citizenship I have to submit a request for the Egyptian government for "acquiring a foreign nationality while keeping my Egyptian one".. On the other hand, if you were a US citizen and became Canadian, you don't have to take an action whatsoever on both sides.

If a US citizen voluntarily applies for naturalization in another country, he loses his US citizenship. He can only gain another citizenship through no act of his own.

Just a clarification on your last statement.

You have to be more specific.. Canada does allow dual citizenship, so as far as the Canadian government is concerned, there's nothing to be done. But, depending on his other nationality some might be required. Some countries do not allow multiple citizenship, in which case you have to choose.

This is not true. If a U.S. citizen voluntarily applies for naturalization in another country, with the intent to relinquish his/her U.S. citizenship, he/she may lose U.S. citizenship. If you naturalize in another country (or exercise rights associated with having another citizenship, such as by voting in a foreign election), and do not intend to relinquish your U.S. citizenship, you are not at risk of losing it.
