 My husband has been trying to renounce his Canadian citizenship.  But it has been a difficult.  He has had his application denied 4 times!  And he has fulfilled the criteria.
 
 He has 2 letters ordering him to return to Canada.  (And he hasn't commited any crime or owe any taxes.)  He is also being threaten with legal action and extradition being brought before the French courts.  (If he continues to try to renounce canadian citizenship without accepting another nation's citizenship first.)
 
 But our advocate assures us that all of this will disappear if He pays to the Canadian goverment a certain amount of money.  Or he accepts French citizenship.
 
 End result and only conclusion we came to...
 We are only property of a goverment.
 Slaves or at the very least, serfs.

 Is that the departure tax they want you to pay?
Oh and you are right. You are not free. Never were. If you were free then you should be able to renounce your citizenship without a problem.
