Dear Sir,

I have valid student authorisation, and I'm a student in Canada. I am a citizen of
two countries (non of them is Canada). One where I was born, lived for whole my life
and the other where I've been only once for 5 days to visit my relatives and which
citizenship I obtained two years ago "by blood". I have never asked for passport or
ID of that country, the only document I have is certificate of citizeship.

When I was applying for student authorisation, I mentioned just one citizenship, later
on I realized that I made omition. It wasn't asked to mention both citizenship, and I
wrote the citizenship of the country which passport I posses.

What should I do now? Did I made a serious mistake?

If I apply for immigration and mention both of citizenships, will I be removed from
Canada, since I made omition in student autorisation form?

Thank You for your answer Mirko

[email protected] asked if he would get in trouble with Canadian immigration authorities
because he mentioned only one of his two citizenships (the citizenship corresponding to
his passport) when he was applying for a student authorization.

I doubt this would create any sort of problem at all. Does anyone else out there
think it would?

FWIW, mentioning my dual nationality on the form didn't delay my application for a
work visa.
