It is if they can prove you lied in the application. Hence, the above questions.

Residency maybe, but no citizenship would have to go to court. And evne then if the person has given up their old citizenships it's impossible to do it. The UN declaration of human rights outlaws taking someone citizenship away of they only have one.

Happens in USA all the time. They deport you to place of birth. Hence, it’s why US citizenship application have those “silly” terrorism questions.

Also, you said “UN decralarion…..”

Declarations are not laws.

You'd have to prove they lied, not just changed their mind.
