Yep, Canada doesn't really care who else claims you, or which other countries you claim. Although if you are a member of Nasty, and Nasty wants you to do something you don't want to, Canada can't give you the help it can give those without dual citizenship. Not sure what happens if you want to give up Nasty citizenship and they won't let you. At least, that's how it was back when I had to learn it.
All my grandparents were born in Canada, and their ancestors were all from the UK. Wales and Ireland that I know of.
Hubby's parents grew up in Romania, 50 miles apart (a huge distance given the lack of vehicles), and met at a wedding in Toronto. I took his name. Went from being a common British name in Ottawa (friends could never find my number) to being a German name in Guelph (never more than three in the phonebook).
I like having the German name. It weeds out the telemarketers. If they stumble on it, it's because they're racing through a long list. If they have already thought about it (even if they get it wrong), it's a teacher or storytelling question.
