Why would you go to Canada to renew a British passport? Why not just go to the British consulate in the US?
Where did you get the idea you can have dual Canadian British citizenship? Unless either of your parents are Canadian, or you immigrate to Canada and get LPR status, and then after 3 years (or however long they require now) apply for citizenship, how are you eligible?
Because, British Citizens think that Canadians having the queen on our money think that they are special as we are the colonials who would defer to them and roll the red carpet for them, and give them citizenship just like that. I have also heard of British citizens being astonished that they didnt have the same rights or even more rights than Canadians as they are First Class Original British folks! But you know what? they wouldnt give us Canadian citizens despite having their queen on our money any more rights in England than a Japanese would have coming to England. I feel with this kind of no special deal, it would only make sense that Canada become a Republic. This way, the Quebeckers will have to stop bitching about English and French Canada and independence, as we will have then cut ties with England fully. Since the French in America didnt expect any special treatment from Americans when they declared their independence from Britian, and even allied the Americans on this cause, the Quebeckers will also have to stop wanting independence from rest of Canada, if the whole of Canada separated from the UK.
