Do they retain American citizenship, then? Not making people stateless is a pretty big thing in international law.

There's an entire Internet full of facts you can look up. This fact is one of them.

How do you look up something from a made-up hypothetical?

There isn't even modern precedent for ceding territory from the US to Canada, and pre-1900 all kinds of things were different, including borders all being open.

I'm guessing they're talking about looking up rules regarding permanent residency. Or maybe dual-citizenship in Canada.

As a PR of Canada, I can confirm you can have your original citizenship and PR. Even when I become a Canadian citizen eventually, I don't have to give up my original one since Canada is ok with dual-citizenship.

Oh, well I knew that. There's dual or multiple citizens everywhere.
