My friend is a senior citizen who was born in Canada before 1977. She came to Florida from Canada in the 1950's and received her American citizenship (probably around 1968). She has only one arrest in her life but unfortunately it is a felony conviction in 1981 for which she spent three years in a Florida prison. She was released sometime in the 1980's. Other than this unfortunate period she has no criminal record, not even a traffic ticket. In order to receive her American citizenship in the 1960's it was necessary to renounce her citizenship to another country. By swearing allegiance to the United States her Canadian citizenship was automatically revoked. I understand that the law revoking citizenship to someone born in Canada may have been changed. Would it be possible for her to receive dual citizenship even though she has a felony conviction? Thank you
