Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber is reportedly solidifying his ties to America by applying for citizenship.
According to TMZ , the singer wants dual citizenship, meaning he would retain his Canadian status.
Bieber was born and raised in Ontario, Canada but has lived in the US since he was 13, when he moved with his family to Atlanta.
The 24-year-old entertainer holds a Permanent Resident (Green) Card and has lived in Los Angeles since rising to fame. He also met his fianceé, Hailey Baldwin , in the US.
In order to gain citizenship, the US government requires applicant to be at least 18 years old and to own a Green Card for a minimum of five years.
The singer will also have to undergo a background check and fingerprinting by the FBI and will have to sit in a citizenship interview. If he is successful, he will pledge allegiance to the US at an oath ceremony.
As an American citizen, Bieber would be eligible to vote and run for public office - except for president and vice-president, roles that must be filled by natural-born citizens.
Hip-hop star Drake also holds dual US-Canadian citizenship.

Take him, PLEASE!!! You can have him.
is this the best Canada has to offer...
LOL. Canada didn't offer him. As far as I'm concerned he compares with the garbage Canada used to ship to Michigan.
By the way, have you ever tried butter tarts?
I was referring to the Beib
.
Buzz has gotten a bit ornery lately,
but I like that
"Thank you. Thank you very much." (Elvis)
You're very perceptive.
I hope his day in a Florida jail won't prevent his citizenship approval.
something must be found to prevent approving him
Of course you know that would break the hearts of America's teeny-boppers.
I would think listening to one of his songs would be plenty.
But he also has a criminal record. Hopefully, it's enough.
Apparently he still hasn't resolved the Civil Case from 2014 when he egged his neighbors house (he keeps skipping the deposition, 5 times in two years). Bieber was already criminally charged for the egging and paid $80,000 in restitution. Now the neighbor is seeking $25,000 for pain and suffering and emotional distress that he claims his family has suffered since living next door to Bieber in their gated community. he was also arrested in Florida for underage drinking, drag racing. He was also charged with assault on January 28, 2014 for allegedly attacking his limousine driver while in Toronto. Since that was in Canada he's committed crimes in multiple Countries so He is an International Criminal. In 2013 He attacked a paparazzo in London for allegedly shouting insults but no charges were ever brought. He's not what we're looking for Canada can keep him on their side of the Border.
LOL. Fortunately for Canada and Canadians he's been living on YOUR side of the border for quite a long time. Come to think of it, it would be another reason for Canada to build a border wall if Bieber ever thought of returning.
Far out Buzz. They could call it the Bieber Barrier. Maybe they could make it soundproof so he couldn't sing through it. We wouldn't want our neighbors in the Great White North (See SCTV episodes with Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherety) to suffer that much pain.
Cute couple. Which one is the girl?
lesbians
Nah! I'm sure Hailey's not a lesbian.
her girl"friend" tell you this ?
No, I've never been contacted by Bieber.
