Multiple citizenship, any risks for my Canadian one?

Hello,

I am Brazilian born, Canadian by naturalization and I have lived in Europe for a few years now. I do have the possibility to get a third citizenship (Italian) by marriage or British (as I'm a permanent resident in the UK for long enough) if I'd like to. That sounds interesting at the moment and would make my life a bit easier.

That said, I wouldn't give up on either BRA/CAN citizenship. I do have plans to go back to Canada at some point and I have family in Brazil and go back there quite often. I know Brazil does not care about multiple citizenship (in fact it won't recognize them as far as I know), but I don't know the rules in Canada. If I naturalize as a British citizen, would I be going against the law or jeopardizing my CAN citizenship in any way? And if I get the Italian (through marriage), would it be any different?

Thank you very much!

Canada doesn't get care about multiple citizenships either. You're fine to naturalize in the UK and get married and get sponsored for Italian citizenship.
