Best Answer

Yes s/he can sponser a spouse. For the method please refer to: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp As far as giving up citizenship: it is not required that the spouse give up citizenship. The US basically considers the spouse a US citizen and if they have citizenship in Another Country that is irrelevant to the US.

Your question doesn't make much sense. If you are a citizen you don't have to "gain citizenship" you already have it. That said, if you are a non-citizen living in the United States of America and have lived there for Five (5) years you can apply for citizenship.


How do you get citizenship in Canada if you are a American?

Be sure you have looked into the American Government system before you make any long term plans. It is falling apart. Also the health care system here is pathetic. How can I become a Canadian citizen? * haha the previous poster is right .. America isn't what it used to be (thanks to our current "leaders"). That said, it is very difficult to become an American citizen. Unless you have immediate family who are American citizens, or are a highly skilled/college educated person, it can be next to and including, impossible. Good luck! * No editorializing on this one. Just as any other immigrant to the United States, a Canadian can take out American citizenship after living in the U.S. without a criminal record for five years and passing a test in American civics and history. Recently Pam Anderson did, so the U.S. is not really all that picky. (Oops, I forgot about the no editorializing!) Also, as a Canadian, I'd like to say that you are welcome to move into my basement. We'll see what happens in November, but 4 more years of a Republican executive might mean that I need to buy a bigger house ;-)
