Lost Canadians Told to Surrender Citizenship Certificates During Government Review

A number of people who recently obtained Canadian citizenship under the 'Lost Canadians' law have been asked to surrender their citizenship certificates while the government reviews their cases for eligibility. Recipients, including some in the United States, were told their certificates “may not be entitled” and to return the documents, with officials noting the review is limited and those who are found entitled will have their certificates returned. Notable cases include Shawn Davis Mooney (US-born, now in Canada) and Rana Charron (Ohio), who submitted extensive documentation but now face uncertainty as the review proceeds. The government says affected files will be assessed fairly and individually.”,

Why Americans Abroad Are Renouncing Citizenship in Record Numbers

Why Americans Abroad Are Renouncing Citizenship in Record Numbers

Americans renouncing citizenship surged to 4,889 in 2025—the highest since 2020—driven largely by FATCA tax burdens and political/personal motives. The process is lengthy and costly, though the fee dropped from $2,350 to $450 in 2026. Personal stories, like Erin Klatt moving to New Zealand and Jennifer Sontag in Sicily, illustrate the mix of identity and practicality, while experts warn that giving up US citizenship can limit future mobility and requires having another citizenship; many so‑called accidental Americans are affected by FATCA and its banking/financial implications.

Canada Expands Citizenship by Descent, Opening Doors for Millions of Americans

Canada’s new law allows descendants of Canadians (including grandparents and earlier ancestors) to claim citizenship, potentially enabling millions of Americans to qualify; the new rule has led to a surge of applications and overwhelmed lawyers, with a 75 CAD certificate fee and additional costs for records and services, and processing times around 10 months.

Americans Look North as Dual Citizenship Interest in Canada Grows

Amid political polarization in the United States and immigration concerns, several Americans are pursuing Canadian citizenship, citing security and practical reasons. Personal stories highlight motivations from Massachusetts, Nevada and Florida residents. The base citizenship application costs CAD 75, but total costs can rise significantly with attorney help (one estimate around CAD 6,500). Canada’s processing times for a citizenship certificate run about 10 months, with tens of thousands awaiting decisions; last year about 24,500 Americans gained dual US-Canada citizenship. Canadians generally welcome such interest but worry about “citizenship for convenience” and potential impacts on refugees and asylum-seekers.

Britain tightens entry rules for dual citizens with new passport regime

Britain tightens entry rules for dual citizens with new passport regime

The UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) rollout will require dual nationals to enter the country using a British or Irish passport from February 25, 2026. Those attempting to travel on a foreign passport will be denied boarding unless they also hold a paid Certificate of Entitlement proving their right of abode. The ETA itself doesn’t apply to dual nationals, so the new passport- and right-of-entry rules close that loophole. For those without a British passport, the only routes are obtaining/renewing a UK passport, applying for a Certificate of Entitlement (costing about £589), registering for British citizenship (if eligible), or, in some cases, renouncing British citizenship. An emergency one-time travel document is possible only as a short-term solution. Consider acting early to determine your best path to compliant travel.)
