“As soon as Mrs. Cruz wrote down that he was an American and go the passport, he was no longer eligible for Canadian citizenship. “
Your source??
Under the Canadian citizenship law revised in 1977, maybe. Under the law of 1946 which was in effect when Cruz was born in 1970, it appears he was born a Canadian citizen. I could be wrong, but want to know the truth. Looking for confirmation, not just opinion.
How did his Cuban father not have any right to Cuban citizenship? That one mystifies me.

Citizenship laws of other nations have never had any effect whatsoever on U.S. citizenship laws. If born a U.S. citizen, that person is a U.S. citizen under U.S. law until and if such person renounces his U.S. citizenship.
Accordingly, being eligible for Canadian citizenship...or Cuban citizenship...or Grand Duchy of Fenwick citizenship...has no impact on one's U.S. citizenship.
Period.
