Dual Citizenship

dual citizenship: I have been living in Toronto for 10 years and I decided a long time ago not to become a Canadian citizen. Why? My reason is quite simple. My home country does not allow for dual citizenship. If it did I would run to the immigration office and become a true Canadian, according to The Star. It all started in western China: young Norwegian backpacker stuck on a bus for three days in the desert next to a young beautiful backpacker from Toronto. After many trips across the Atlantic we married and settled in Norway. After three years she could and did start voting in local elections. After almost 10 years we moved to Toronto and we all love life in this great city. Our kids are still in school and we try to be involved in as many levels of our community as possible and I have with interest followed s coverage of the ongoing debate around giving permanent residents the right to vote in local elections. The Canadian Immigration Act is very liberal compared to most other countries. I come from Norway and it does not accept dual status. I could give up my Norwegian citizenship, but after serious consideration I have chosen not to do so. The only reason being that my children can have dual status as long as I stay Norwegian. If I give up my Norwegian status, my kids would lose their status as well. I want them to have the right to make their own choice when they are old enough. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
