The US will tell you that you have to give up your Canadian citizenship but Canada never makes you do it - one of my friends stopped in the middle of her swearing in ceremony in the US and ran over to the CDN consulate and they said "just ignore what the US said, you're always CDN"

You will always be a member of the Empire.
Besides, even the USA now if full of people with five passports from four countries and using three different names. Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Going to think about it. Got to save some $$ first!
I'm curious about a Canadian birth certificate that lists the names of parents. I have never seen a Canadian birth certificate that lists the names of parents, so chances are whatever you're looking at was not issued in Canada. I would suggest you apply to the vital stats office of whatever province you were born and request a birth certificate.

With that, you can apply for a Canadian passport.

I stand corrected ... I just researched Canadian birth certificates and learned that British Columbia has something called a Parental Information Certificate that does include the names and birth places of parents. I suppose that means other provinces offer the same service.

Go online, print out the passport application form, send it in and see what happens. The worst thing that could happen is that you'll be asked for additional information, but at least you'll know what's involved in obtaining both passports ... assuming that's what you want.
