I too appreciate the fact that these are legal immigrants doing it the right way.

However, I will admit my sympathy level is pretty low for people who have resided here far longer than the required three or five years for citizenship suddenly deciding they want to become citizens and then complaining about the wait.

Peter Jennings waited 20 years, I suspect finally submitting paperwork so that he could vote against Bush’s re-election, and then he bragged about still being a Canadian citizen.

Does Canada permit dual citizenships?

Yes, we do. Unfortunately.
