Immigration lawyers say they are seeing a 50 per cent surge in Americans living in Canada looking to renounce their U.S. citizenship.
Campbell River, B.C.’s Jennifer Doxey and her family are among them.
“I’m just so embarrassed by what my country has become,” she told CTV News.
Doxey, who grew up in Ohio, met her husband who had dual citizenship, in 2003. Five years later, they decided to raise their children in Canada.
“Living in the States is nothing like what we see portrayed in television shows,” she said.
“I have no intention of ever going back to the states.”

It will cost them a boat load of money to "renounce" and to what advantage is it to lose the most powerful passport with benefits?
And if they have children well, they should read the following:
Renunciation of U.S. Nationality
To renounce U.S. citizenship, you must voluntarily and with the intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:
Required documents
Americans cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States because of the provisions of section 349(a) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect.
Your Loss of Nationality application and supporting documents will be forwarded to the Department of State in Washington, D.C. for consideration and adjudication, a process that may take between 3-6 months. U.S. citizenship documents will be retained until the Loss of Nationality is adjudicated by the Department of State. At that time, the Consulate will contact you with their determination.
Understanding the Renunciation of Citizenship:
Total Loss of Rights of Citizenship
A person who wants to renounce U.S. citizenship cannot decide to retain some of the privileges of citizenship, as this would be logically inconsistent with the concept of renunciation. A person who attempts to retain some rights lacks a full understanding of renouncing citizenship and/or lacks the necessary intent to renounce citizenship. The Department of State will not approve a loss of citizenship in such instances.
Dual nationality / Statelessness
If you renounce your U.S. citizenship and do not already possess a foreign nationality, you may be rendered stateless and, thus, lack the protection of any government. You may also have difficulty traveling as you may not be entitled to a passport from any country. Even if you are not stateless, you would still be required to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, or show that you are eligible for admission pursuant to the terms of the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP). You could be barred from entering the United States if found ineligible for a visa or the VWP, under certain circumstances. Nonetheless, renunciation of U.S. citizenship may not prevent a foreign country from deporting an individual back to the United States, in some non-citizen status.
Tax & military obligations /no escape from prosecution
Also, renouncing your U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on your U.S. tax or military service obligations. (Contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information). In addition, the act of renouncing U.S. citizenship will not allow you to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed in the United States, or escape the repayment of financial obligations previously incurred in the United States or incurred as United States citizens abroad.
Renunciation for minor children
Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a) (5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.
Irrevocability of renunciation
Finally, renouncing U.S. citizenship is irrevocable and cannot be canceled or set aside without successful administrative or judicial appeal. An applicant who renounced his or her U.S. citizenship before the age of eighteen can have that citizenship reinstated if he or she makes that desire known to the Department of State within six months after attaining the age of eighteen.

Na na, hey hey, goodbye.
Do it!
And we care about this because?
Excellent hoser. I’ve lived here 75 years and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I just didn’t think living in America was supposed to be like living with the Cleavers or Ozzie and Harriet. Living here was what I made of it and I wouldn’t change it for nothing. God Blessed America.

Look. Both countries are smarter as a result.
From two to three?
I can actually hear her singing Melanie Safka’s, “I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates, you’ve got a brand new key,”
I think there are many people in any number of countries that, thinking of their own country, see what the U.S. is doing about “immigrants” is quite natural and normal. They expect their governments to do the same. It is only in “the west” that the recent mass migration was seen as necessitating their own demographic transformation. Thank you George Soros, traitor to all of western civilization.
Yep...went from 2 to 3 people. The MSM has a required reading text named: How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff. Sad how the MSM assumes we are all 10 years old and can't add.
Certified hosers and all around hippie clowns —ping
Well, bye-bye! I was proud to become a US citizen almost 2 decades ago.
BC is a total loss, the worst of the leftist losers are there it is an NDP stronghold. They are the San Francisco province. A no go zone if you are of sound mind.
Will they still be eligible to collect any Social Security the y qualified for?
Too lazy to see what she is so embarrassed about. Is it the replacement of an incompetent husk of a President with someone who is functioning? Is it the stemming of the flood of illegals and sending them back where they came from? Or is it the references of Canada being the 51st state?
“pay a $2,350.00 fee.”
Quick, make it free! Anything to rid the country of these America hating A-holes.
The coming very lopsided trade war between Canada and The U.S. ought to wipe that smile right off Karen’s hippie face.
