My husband is an American naturalized citizen and I am a Canadian, we are living in the USA at the moment. We both lived in Canada for about 4 years and had applied for my husband's citizenship in Canada. They sent us notice to write citizenship test in Canada. My questions are:
1. Would becoming Canadian citizen jeopardize his American citizenship in anyway? I have been getting mixed answers even from immigration lawyers
2. Does our current residency in the USA disqualify him for Canadian citizenship? He already met the minimum requirements to stay in Canada when he applied

At one time a naturalized U.S. citizen risked losing his/her citizenship if they set up permanent residence in another country within 5 years of naturalizing as a U.S. citizen. However, that provision is no longer in place to the best of my knowledge.
If you want to know for sure the best thing to do is to contact the U.S. embassy or consulate. THey have a website also if you search for it you should find it easily it even has a section under consulate about dual citizenship.
