Can I Keep My Canadian Citizenship if I Become a U.S. Citizen?
Generally yes, you can keep it
Canada allows dual citizenship.
Canada has permitted dual citizenship since 1977, so becoming a U.S. citizen does not affect your Canadian citizenship.
What the United States does
The United States allows dual citizenship. It does not require you to give up your previous citizenship to naturalize, and taking the Oath of Allegiance does not, by itself, make the U.S. treat your other citizenship as lost. Whether you actually keep it depends on the laws of your country of origin, described below.
Before you decide
Citizenship laws change, and your individual case can have details that matter. Before you naturalize, confirm the current rules with a Canada consulate or embassy, and consider speaking with an immigration attorney if keeping your other citizenship is important to you.
