双国籍 Dual Citizenship

双国籍或多国籍 Dual or Multiple Citizenship

双重或多重国际是指，一个人拥有两个或以上国家的公民身份。加拿大公民获得另一个国家的公民身份，仍将保留加拿大国籍。事实上，只有通过复杂的法律程序自愿放弃加拿大国籍，加拿大公民才会失去公民身份。

然而，获得加拿大国籍的其他国家公民，可能会在获得加拿大护照时被撤销原本的公民身份。有些国家可能完全不承认其公民新获得的加拿大公民身份。

Dual (or multiple) citizenship occurs when a person is a citizen of two or more countries.

A citizen of Canada will retain Canadian citizenship upon acquiring a second citizenship in another country. In fact, Canadian citizens cannot lose their citizenship unless they voluntarily renounce it via a complicated legal procedure.

However, for citizens of many other countries who obtain Canadian citizenship, dual citizenship does not always apply. Some countries will revoke citizenship when a citizen of that country acquires a Canadian passport; other nations may simply not recognize the new citizenship at all.

出生地原则，即在该国领土上出生。
父母之一或双方是该国公民。

世界范围内，包括加拿大在内的许多国家承认双重国籍。虽然加拿大接受其公民持有双重或多重国籍并抱有非常开放的法律态度，但并非所有国家都是如此。针对双国籍，每个国家的国籍法都有明确规定。我们强烈建议在申请入籍前，先与其本国政府或领事馆联系，了解获取加拿大公民身份后对其前公民身份的所有影响与利弊。

承认双重国籍，是加拿大及其公民值得骄傲的加拿大价值观体现之一。体现了加拿大在族裔多样性与文化多元性等方面的适应能力。许多人在入籍后会选择保留以前的国籍。多数情况下对个人而言，拥有双重国籍身份具有众多好处和积极意义。点击了解加拿大入籍条件。

Some common ways to obtain citizenship are:

Being born in territory considered to be of that country.
Having one or more parents who are citizens of that country.
Having married a person of that citizenship.
Having gone through the legal process of earning citizenship via examination in a previously foreign country.
Having lived in that country for enough time to qualify for citizenship.

Many countries permit dual citizenship, Canada being one of them. While Canada has very open and accepting laws regarding dual citizenship, this cannot be said for all countries. Each country possesses its own set of rules and laws regarding dual citizenship. Individuals seeking Canadian citizenship should consult their native government or native country’s embassy or consulate for complete information regarding the impact on their current citizenship status should they acquire Canadian citizenship.

While there are many benefits to dual and multiple citizenship, some disadvantages may occur. In addition to possibly having a previous citizenship revoked, it is also possible to be caught between two countries’ legalities, taxation, compulsory military service, and other seemingly unexpected problems. The laws that apply to each individual depend on which country of citizenship the person resides in at that time. It is crucial to be aware of the rules and regulations regarding dual or multiple citizenship in each country of citizenship.

In many ways, dual citizenship is a proud value for Canada and its citizens. Dual citizenship speaks to Canada’s diversity and comfort with multiculturalism. Many new Canadians opt to keep their previous citizenship in addition to their Canadian citizenship. In most cases, having dual citizenship is positive and beneficial.
