    First, I do not see a reason for you to qualify for dual citizenship.

    Unless your mother was part of a diplomatic mission or some form of German ambassador to Canada, then you would have the citizenship of the country you were born in.

    That said, if you wanted to become a German Citizen, then contact the German Consulate in Canada and see what you have to do to renounce your citizenship.

    Dual citizenship expires when you turn 18, I believe.
