there are dozens upon dozens of threads here at VJ that explain dual and multi-citizenships.

You can have multiple citizenships, and dual between the US and Canada is allowed.

Yes it's perfectly fine. I have both citizenships right now. So you won't ever denounce your Canadian citizenship unless you want to do that...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

Just remember if you move to Canada being a permanent US resident you will lose that status and if you ever decide to move to the US again you would have to re-do the entire process. There are certain exceptions like applying for a Re-entry permit which allows up to 2 years absence from the US. Or a N-470 which preserves your residency in case you wanted to apply for US citizenship, but even with that, it's only good for about a year absence.

So if you ever wanted to move back to the US (Your husband and kids would be fine, you would be the issue), you could face problems and maybe denial until your husband files for a K-3 (or whatever it is). Best bet is for you to get US citizenship so you can have both US and Canadian and then you can travel and live where ever you want in the world.

If you never plan on ever moving back to the US, then yeah go for it, abandon the Green card etc since you won't ever need it again. The only problem is with the Green Card if you wanted to come back. So some things to think about...

I'm back again.

So we're really thinking about moving to Canada. Is there a website where I could gather all this information, regarding absences from the US and such?
