Hi everyone! I've accepted my appointment to USMA 2017. I was born in Canada and am a naturalized U.S. citizen. My Canadian passport expired, so I'm not sure if I'm still a Canadian citizen. Assuming that I still am a Canadian citizen, I understand that I must renounce my Canadian citizenship. However, after looking online, I've learned that I must be 18 in order to do so (I turn in 18 in August, after R-Day). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do about this? Should I contact my RC/admissions office? Thanks in advance!
 
You'll need to have a letter of intent to renounce your citizenship notarized at a minimum. You won't be able to get your security clearance until you have formally renounced your Canadian citizenship.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll call the admissions office tomorrow and get some clarification on what I need to do.
 
I recommend you request your naturalization paperwork through USCIS as well if you do not have it. I believe it requires an N600 form.

Congrats on your appointment as well!!

Thanks! I sent in a copy of my naturalization certificate to admissions over the summer. I believe what I have to do now is get a notarized copy of my Canadian birth certificate and then find a way of renouncing my dual citizenship, such as getting a notarized letter of intent as 845something suggested.

this might be a good point of contact as well.
 
Thanks for the link! I'll contact their office as well after I call admissions.
 
Quick update on my issue:

I contacted admissions today; my dual citizenship must be revoked by R-Day. I've called the Canadian consulate in my area, and the lady I reached is going to talk to her superiors about my issue. Hopefully everything works out!
 
I'd like to know how to get this letter of intent to renounce your citizenship notarized. I have a dual citizenship as well
 
I e-mailed the security office, the dual citizenship issue would be taken care of on R-Day. Candidates with dual citizenship will sign an affidavit that will denounce their second citizenship and a security assistant will contact us during the year to take care of it.
