Give up Canadian Citizenship

[sjakub]

the job I am offered requires me to have Korean citizenship and proof of cancellation of Canadian citizenship if I became Canadian voluntarily. So my question was that if I cancel Canadian citizenship, am I not holding permanent status either? will I be treated as visitor/study permit holder/foreign worker? right?

You don't HAVE Canadian citizenship so you cannot "cancel" it and you will not get a proof of cancellation.

Right now you only have a PR status. If you don't go to the oath, nothing will change.
You will still have your PR status for a while, even if you leave Canada.

But you will lose it if you live outside of Canada for too long.
How "long" is "too long" depends on your past travels, but it won't be more than 3 years - doesn't matter what the expiry date on your PR card is.

Once that happens, you will be just a regular visitor, who will require a study permit to study and a work permit to work here.
On the other hand it looks like South Korea is one of the visa-exempt countries, so you will not need a visa to enter Canada
as a visitor after you lose your PR status.

Wouldn't you fall into: Foreigners who are married to Koreans and acquired Korean nationality from July 2, 2010, or later

Not if they both are and have always been Koreans...

I thought that, if anything, this would apply:

Koreans with multiple nationalities who has vowed his/her intention not to exercise his/her foreign nationality in the Republic of Korea.

However, Wikipedia may not be the most reliable source and there could be more specific laws in place.
Or even that specific job could have its own, separate, restrictions...

And yes, if you renounce your Canadian citizenship, you will have no resident status in Canada. You will not be a PR either.

I made a mistake. Since you are applying for citizenship, if you withdraw it, then you will remain PR. Sorry for the confusion
