Status Declaration

[curious_toad]

Person applied for Canadian PR while they were citizen of country A and got approved as an applicant/citizen from country A but few months later they also obtained citizenship of country B, lets say all this happens before making the first entry in to Canada after getting their COPR.

Questions regarding the above.
1. Do they need to inform CIC of the changes? If yes, within what time frame and how can they inform?
2. Does it complicate anything about their Canadian PR? If yes, what and why?
3. Assuming they become Canadian citizen, can they keep three nationalities? Please explain.

1. No.
2. No.
3. Not for Canada. But it may be a problem for the other countries since not all countries allow multiple citizenships.

Thank you.

As for question 1 and your answer, an explanation would be helpful. Also, is it not some kind of offence by not declaring such changes to CIC, don't they want to know such events since one is a Canadian PR holder.

What if country A does not allow dual citizenship but country B does so one would be forced to renounce/give-up their citizenship for country A under which the application was lodged. Now, what are the answers to the above 3 questions.

PR and Citizenship are two separate things. Citizenship does not impact your PR application (I am a french citizen and I had to do a language test same as everybody).

1 and 2 would not change compared to answer above.
3 would however as that person would be a citizen of only country B (who does not allow dual citizenship), therefore to obtain citizenship of Canada, would result in giving up citizenship of Country B.
