I couldn't find a thread on this particular topic, and maybe this has some relevance to other members.

Within the last few years, I found that I was eligible (through some effort on my part) to obtain citizenship to a couple of countries via the "jus sanguinis" nationality laws of my parents', and their parents' origins - namely Italy and Luxembourg. Since Luxembourg will cease its program in 2018, I should probably act on it sooner than later.

Has anybody ever proceeded with this, or even have multiple citizenships with countries in the EU? What are the pros & cons of supplementing your Canadian citizenship with one or more EU countries? Do you receive any of the perks of being a citizen in a country where you have never lived?
