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.
Im confused why they would ever be stateless, Its not like they would lose their US citizenship, so they still wouldnt be stateless.
Yeah there are multiple ways to do this i dont even understand how it was a question. Transfer of the territory and giving residency/citizenship to the people on it would have to happen simultaniously. Its not like they would do one, drag their heels on it for 30 years and then the other.
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.

Yeah why wouldnt they? It said in the article that most of them have dual already.
Because they’re from a place that’s (now) Canada, not the US. I mean, you could look at it either way.
You’d have to include provisions to stop them from being deported the same way other permanent residents can, but it could be done.

I was kind of thinking it would be a swap situation. Like, if they’re just a US citizen they’d be just a Canadian citizen afterwards.
The more I think about it the more unlikely that seems, though.
