Im a dual citizen of the US and Canada


I thought the US didn’t recognize the dual citizenship, so in the Governments eyes you are a US citizen and still have to follow US law and pay US taxes. Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong.

My understanding is that the U.S. does not recognize duel citizenship, but they won’t keep you from having it.

The US has agreements with certain countries to recognize dual-citizenships, but certainly not all countries. Until about 20 years ago, the US and Australia didnt have an agreement in place. My dad never got naturalized because he didnt want to give up his Aussie citizenship and my brother and I would have had to give up our dual and choose once we turned 18. Would have made it more of a hassle to go visit all of our family. Luckily, an ageement was reached in the early 2000s so dad got naturalized and I get to keep my dual for life.
