Canadian cowboy singer Hank Snow, once said the proudest day of his life was the day he became a US citizen.

I wonder if the artist's citizenship is considered for Cancon purposes at the time a song was written or their current status.

Is she still not a Canadian citizen?  Did she renounce?  She would be dual no?

Good question.

Yes, she is.

Still an interesting question theoretically though.

Yes she is still a Canadian and will have dual citizenship, and also has a home in BC.  Maybe she wants to vote in the mid terms.
