"yes, but only if you have a parent that was born in America and one born in Canada"

This is not precisely, or necessarily true.

It is possible for a Canadian to become a dual citizen if neither parent was born in the United States, but it depends on when they were born and where their parents were born.

Canadians, since 1947, can hold multiple citizenships.

It is a complex question. You are best advised to contact a United States embassy or consulate near you for more information. They will likely send you questionnaire to help you determine your status.

In general though, it is not possible for a foreign government to force you to renounce your citizenship, even as a condition of citizenship in that country. So as long as you meet the requirements to become a citizen of the United States, it doesn't matter if you are also a Canadian citizen.

When you became an American citizen, if you had not renounced your Canadian citizenship voluntarily, you can still maintain your maintain your Canadian citizenship together with your US citizenship. For instance, you can live for an unlimited period of time in both of them and have their passports at the same time (you should carry both passports whenever you travel between the two countries).

yes, a Canadian citizen can move to the USA, they will have to apply for a green card if they want to work there, also, if they want to retire, they must live in Canada for 6 months other wise they will lose part of their Old age security.and pay a significant penalty for having been out iof the country for longer than 6 months, also their health Insurance will not be covered by the Government, so they must seek a very expensive private insurance .
