Lawyers in Canada involved in U.S. citizenship renunciation say inquiries have spiked sharply since the election of US President Donald Trump last November .

Most people renounce U.N. citizenship for tax reasons.

The process involves immigration filings, tax-compliance submissions and a fee to obtain a Certificate of Loss of Nationality.

A lot of clients might be more politically motivated, Cowgill said.

“It feels different when I return to the U.S. when I was a citizen, I crossed the border armed with knowledge that I could never be refused entry. Whereas now, the agents have discretion to refuse my entry, if they believe I am not merely visiting the US .”.
