Yes it is allowed. If you obtain Canadian citizenship, you are allowed to maintain your American citizenship as well. But you should always carry both their passports when traveling between the two.

Are utility bills sufficient proof of residency when applying to the Canadian government for dual US-Canadian citizenship?
In Canada, the term "dual citizenship" is purely descriptive. It describes the fact that a person holds Canadian citizenship and the citizenship of another country at the same time. But there is no particular legal status called "Dual Citizenship". Therefore, you cannot apply for "Dual Citizenship". If you are a citizen of the United States (or any other country) and you apply for Canadian citizenship, Canada will not ask you to renounce your previous citizenship. In Canada's eyes, you can hold both citizenships simultaneously (though this could change due to recent abuses). In that sense, you will have dual citizenship. But be warned: other countries do not always see it that way. When a citizen of Canada (or any other country) takes American citizenship, he must renounce his previous citizenship. Canada may still consider that person a Canadian citizen, but the United States will not recognize them as a dual citizen. So, as I said, you cannot apply to the Canadian government for "Dual Citizenship" status. If you are citizen of another country, who has lived in Canada for the required period, and you want to apply for Canadian citizenship, you will need the following proof of residence: 1. A Record of Landing (IMM 1000)-a document that is sometimes folded and stapled into your passport, This shows that you arrived in Canada legally. 2. A permanent resident card. You get this from the government when you apply for permanent residency. You must be a permanent resident for at least three years before applying for citizenship. 3. Two pieces of identification (for example, a passport, a driver's licence, or a provincial/territorial health card), at least one of which contains your photo. NO, UTILITY BILLS WILL NOT DO. You must have official I.D. 4. Two signed citizenship photos, which must also be signed by a guarantor - a professional who can attest that you are a resident of Canada. For more information, visit the website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp. Correction to above: The above is mostly correct except the US also does not require formal renunciation of other citizenships. When I became a US citizen, I did not have to renounce my Canadian citizenship, and the Canadian government still recognizes me as a Canadian citizen. However, the US does not legally recognizethat I have another citizenship. If Canada recognizes me as a citizen of Canada under the laws of Canada, that is between me and the government of Canada. It is not illegal or prohibited, it simply has no legal effect at all. The US will not try to prevent or prohibit another country from recognizing someone as a citizen under the laws of that other country, but whether they do or they don't is completely irrelevant under US law. Under US law, I am a US citizen, just like any other US citizen - period*. For example, if I was jailed in the US, I would not necessarily be allowed to have a representative of Canada visit me in jail any more than any other given US citizen would be allowed to have a Canadian government representative visit them.

What changes were made in 2002 to the laws allowing dual citizenship between UK and USA?
It's important to note that while your dual citizenship may be recognized by another country, the US does not recognize dual citizenship. For Immigration purposes, this means that you cannot travel to the US on a foreign passport if you are a US citizen. == == The US laws on dual citizenship are somewhat ambigious. The US law states that you remain a citizen unless you a)Voluntarily apply for citizenship of another country with B) the intention of renouncing your US citizenship. So, for example, if you are a US citizen by birth, you may become a naturalized citizen of Canada. Canada does not require renouncing other citizenships, so you remain a citizen of both countries. If you are a citizen of the UK, their laws would determine if you can retain your citizenship after becoming a naturalized citizen of the US. Basically, becoming a naturalized citizen of country A may not automatically eradicate your citizenship in country B, depending on the laws of country B. Some countries, such as Iraq, require you to renounce all other citizenships. There is a long list of countries that do not allow dual citizenships (do a google search.) If you specifically want to renounce your US citizenship, you do so by filling out a form and filing it with the US embassy.
