Got interviewed in December and was told to expect the oath letter in the mail in a few weeks. Would have loved to have been given it the same day but hopefully it won't be long now -

It used to be that passports didn't require your social security number but I believe that is standard information required now. A passport application can be held up or denied if you for example have outstanding child support - should the USA choose to link the IRS database with the passport...

I guess the first question you need to ask yourself is above and beyond taxes, what is Canadian citizenship worth to you? The USA is one of the only countries on the planet that tax you on worldwide income simply because you are a citizen so you will forever have to file taxes to the USA...

You are young. Take this time to explore a new country and take advantage of your youth, optimism, education and motivation and if that is Canada, welcome aboard! It's a great country filled with wonderful people and a beautiful landscape. The warm sandy beaches and family are but a plane ride...

I didn't check whether or not a rental car is considered commercial since we were using our own vehicle and had the title, insurance etc to prove it. Your best bet would be to call either Canada Customs and Border and/or rental car companies to find out what they say. We also were not walking...
