He will have to surrender one nationality either Pakistani or Canadian as he cant keep 3 at the same time.

What makes you think that?

All three countries permit dual nationalities.

I think that "dual" implies multiple nationalities, not limited to only two.

Vinny I might be wrong but i know few people who were offered British Nationality because of their status in Hong Kong back in 2004. One of my friend had to surrender Pakistani Nationality to get British. He said he will prefer Hong Kong over British but keep both and surrender Pakistani. Three more people i know had surrendered Pakistani. A friend of my friend came from Hong Kong to visit London and he said that he is not going to take British Nationality as he want to keep his Pakistani and Hong Kong Nationality.

My children have 3 nationalities and we have no problems with that. Why should they surrender one of that?They were entitled to those and got that without any problem

Dual nationality should technically be multiple nationalities. My family members are tri-state nationals and there has never been any issues with either one of the countries. I will be tri-state soon myself and I dont intend to give up any of them.

Hope this helps...

PS: all states in question must allow mulitple nationalities e.g. a person cannot be British and Indian and USA national because India does not allow dual/multiple nationality...
