I have two citizenships, could I have canadian citizenship as well?

Hello,

I am about to send my package application for citizenship, I have already been in Canada as a Permanent Resident for about 3 and half years.

I was born in Chile, so I am chilean by birth right, plus one of my grandparents was Italian so I have Italian passport, as they allow up to third generation. I lived for a few years in Italy in the past, and loved it so much, I have some relatives still and so it is important to keep my Italian passport.

Because I immigrate to Canada 10 years ago (work permit, PR, and now citizenship), I would like to vote and be certain this is my home, so my question is could I apply for Canadian Citizenship without having to give up my chilean and Italian citizenship?
As I have been reading in this Forum it should be ALRIGHT... Although I have a friend that tolde me his citizenship was rejected because of this:

He is born in Ecuador, and grew up in the US, and now moved to Canada for the last 9 years, so in his process to become Canadian citizen he was asked to give up on ONE of his other TWO citizenship...

Any clues?
I have also read, for Ecuador it could be a bit tricky in terms of citizenship by naturalization...

I know as fact that Chile allows TWO PASSPORTS, also I know by fact that CANADA allows TWO PASSPORTS... So any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Canada allows any numbers of citizenships. The story you heard almost for sure is not true. Canada never demands giving up other citizenships. The problems might appear only from the other country's side (Chile in your case)

Correct..I have three passports, too..including the Canadian

Yeah I don't think Canada cares how many other citizenships you have... Almost certain it's the other countries that's the problem.
