Topic: Do I Have Dual Citizenship?

MMacDonald1118

My father was born and raised in Marion Bridge, NS.

He left Canada in 1978 on a work visa and traveled to the States.

That's when he met my mom and they were married 9 months later.

They did move to Montreal after their wedding but after 3 months but my mom was home sick and wanted to live back in Philadelphia.

I was born in Philadelphia PA , my father always told us that we had "dual citizenship" but only Canada recognized it.

My father passed away in 1997 and a lot has changed since then (like needing a passport to cross the border).

So my question is, "dual citizenship" is this a real thing?

Would the process of becoming a Canadian Citizen or PR be different for me?

What steps would I need to take to become a Canadian Citizen?

I have property that I inherited when my father passed.

Thank you
