Wouldn't that be an unreliable test, since you could've renounced your citizenship or have been born to Canadian parents visiting Italy, since Italy is jus sanguinis [1]?

- Scoundreller 8y agoCorrect, but the point was the border police never bothered to inquire. Even the US let’s you renounce your jus soli citizenship. Now you may have to state Yes/No to a question about other citizenships, when the best answer for a lot of Americans (a nation of immigrants) will be “Don’t know for sure, maybe”.
