Possible dual citizenship? USA and Canada?

Hi. I was born in Calgary, AB in 1986 to a single American mother. However, my family moved to America in 1988, where I have lived ever since. I am an American citizen, but my question pertains to whether or not I have Canadian citizenship as well. Also, I am considering taking a trip to Calgary this summer, either way, I will still need an American passport, correct?

Canadian citizenship law states that a person born in Canada on or after February 14, 1977, regardless of the nationalities of the parents, acquires Canadian citizenship . There are, however, exceptions to this law, including children born to diplomatic personnel and children of parents who were not legal residents in Canada at the time of the birth. So it depends on why your mother was in Canada when you were born. Here is more:
