I think anyone will help me out. I am a Canadian Landed Immigration and I completed required 3 years in Canada for Canadian Citizenship. In the mean time, I got married US Citizen and recived US immigraton(Green Card) last month. I applied for Canadian Citizenship and recently recived acknowledgement letter.My questions are

1. Do I need to stay Canada until Citizenship is done? If yes why, if No do I need to inform Canadian authority that I have US Immigration also?

2. How duel immigration status will effect during my Canadian Citizenship?

3. When I rcvd US immigration, they stamp on my Own contries Passport. If I get Canadian Citizenship, how would I adjust that.

Answer:

Make up your mind whether you want to be in Canada or in the US and then ask the question accordingly.

people like you who use the Canadian system to obtain a Canadian passport and then move to the USA slow everything down and that's why sometimes it takes 2 years instead of 1 year to get immigration to canada, you shouldn't be allowed to apply for Canadian citizenship if your our of canada, maybe its illegal i don't know

I am proud to be Canadian. But now I have no other way but leave Canada. When I came Canada, I can remember, Canada won world cup hockey. I am one of many jumping in Young Street. I love Canada and that's why when I got married in US I ask my wife to come Canada so that we can raise a family here, buy house etc etc. I am fortunate that I have very good job in Canada. I applied for her and after 2.8 years they send me a letter saying her immigration would not be approved because she applied within Canada. When I applied for my wife it was under family class under spouse category. On June 2002 they changed law and didn't inform me. They ask her to leave and apply from US which would be another 2 years (I don't believe Canadian Immigration).

Now Mr/Mrs celine_uk tell me what would you do? Wait another 2/3 years or raige your age without family?

Citizenship?

No idea about these two, and they don't appear to have anything to do with immigration into the USA. You'd be better asking in a Canadian immigration group.

I don't know what you mean. What do you want to adjust? Bear in mind that to keep your Green Card you must maintain your main residency in the USA.

Yes, the original poster would be better off posting these questions in misc.immigration.canada. I will comment that he MUST maintain his residency status in Canada up to the day he becomes a Canadian citizen. If he ceases to be a resident of Canada, then he becomes ineligible to be a naturalized in Canada.

He's probably referring to his temporary I-551 stamp, which is used as proof of permanent resident status until his actual green card arrives.

If he doesn't lose his original citizenship when he becomes a Canadian then he doesn't have to adjust anything. If he does, well then he'll have to contact USCIS.
