Re: Dual Citizenship.
There is a rumour or suggestion that his renouncement is not legal.
Im sure the lawyers will argue that point if it becomes necessary.
If not a citizen then yes he could be considered inadmissible.
I will comment no further as its yet to be dealt with and I know my posts on matters such as these tend to upset posters as they dont like me quoting legislation and regulations that affect entry into Canada or what CBSA officers can do if faced with such situations.

I'm not a judge.
Neither am I
Time will tell I guess but it will cost him some rather large legal fees Im betting.

Re: Dual Citizenship.
Two reasons for having dual citizenship for me:
1) It's prudent to have the same citizenship as your kids - mine were born here.
2) I have two passports now so the odds of losing both at the same time are longer than losing the single one I had before.

Gotta admit the new UK passports look sexier than the Canadian ones

I do like the pomp of the British passports "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State, requests and requires......". If I recall, the Canadian version is much lamer. "The Minister of Foreign Affairs thinks it would be awesome if......"

The back page is even lamer. If in trouble somewhere where Canada doesn't have a diplomatic presence, go see the Brits. You could go to the Aussies, too, but the passport doesn't say so.

Re: Dual Citizenship.
Others have renounced Canadian citizenship over the years, for various reasons.

As far as I can tell there is no down side to dual citizenship.
