Hello everybody,
I have been living in Germany for the past few years. In 2014, I applied for and got Canadian PR. I went to Canada in September, 2015 and after fulfilling the landing requirements, came back to Germany after a few weeks. In the coming months, I would be eligible for German nationality but in order to get it, I would have to give up my current one because Germany does not allow dual nationality. I plan to move to Canada after getting German Nationality. Now, in case I obtain German nationality and give up my current one, how would I be able to enter Canada again? My PR Card would have my old nationality for which I would have no passport (only a notarized photocopy) whereas its not clear whether I can get an eAT using my German passport because I am a PR and thus not eligible for eAT. Has anyone already gone through this situation and can guide? One can contact either CIC or the concerned Canadian Embassy in order to clarify the situation before travelling to Canada but I would like some guidance before taking this step.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
