Short answer - No, your spouse cannot get Cdn citizenship if your spouse has not fulfilled the residency eligibility (the 1095 day thing).

Your spouse may also lose the PR status in Canada if the residency requirements for PR are not met.

There are many ways that someone could become a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, and there are actually many thousands of people who are dual citizens of these two countries.

Both Canada and the U.S. follow a rule called "citizen by birth". So, essentially, anyone born in the U.S. is an American citizen, and anyone born in Canada is a Canadian by birth.

Both Canada and the U.S. also permit people to have citizenship by descent. So if an American person has a baby in Canada, the baby will be American by virtue of having an American parent. The baby will also be Canadian by virtue of having been born in Canada. The same situation would apply if a Canadian went to the U.S. and had a child there.

Both Canada and the U.S. permit citizenship by the process called "Naturalization." If someone completes certain residency requirements in either the U.S. or Canada, that person can apply for citizenship in whichever country he/she is living, and go through the process. So, if an American gets transferred to a job in Canada and ends up living there for several years, that American could apply for Canadian citizenship. The same is true if a Canadian moves to the U.S. and lives there for a certain number of years. For instance, if a Canadian got married to an American and moved to the U.S., then that Canadian could eventually apply for U.S. citizenship after a few years of permanent residency in the U.S.

In some cases, if a US Citizen takes up citizenship in another country, then the U.S. will consider that person to be no longer be a citizen of USA. But they were struck down by their courts later on. See here.: However, most of the laws forbidding dual citizenship were struck down by the US Supreme Court in two cases: a 1967 decision, Afroyim v. Rusk, as well as a second ruling in 1980, Vance v. Terrazas. Incidentally, the same is not necessarily true the other way around. If a person of another country becomes a U.S.Citizen then, depending upon the laws of the home country, that country may still consider her/him to be a citizen. (Indian Government does not recognize any other Citizenship, so they strip you of your Indian Citizenship.) You know that already.

There are situations where the U.S. may recognize dual citizenship. For example, a person may have acquired U.S. citizenship through a parent and still be a citizen of another country. The dual citizenship situations generally pertain to citizenship-by-birth, not when the U.S. citizen naturalizes.

All of these are academics and those who specialize in that law know a lot more and the means and the methods and also the reasons why?
