001petition-vs-referendum-vs-negotiationsNegotiations after a successful referendum would have to address practical transition files such as assets, debt, borders, customs, citizenship, mobility, public services, pensions, courts, currency, and recognition; current sources do not settle those terms.002petition-vs-referendum-vs-negotiationsCitizenship and customs or border arrangements are current federal legal systems, so post-secession continuity would require legal or negotiated arrangements rather than automatic continuation.003immigration-passports-mobilityCanadian citizenship, Canadian passports, Charter mobility rights, immigration status, and the ability to live or work across Canada are currently governed by Canadian federal legal and administrative systems rather than by Alberta alone.004immigration-passports-mobilityAlberta independence would not by itself settle whether Albertans keep Canadian citizenship, Canadian passport eligibility, permanent residence, or Canada-wide live/work rights; those outcomes would depend on Canadian law, Alberta law, and negotiated transition arrangements.005immigration-passports-mobilityThe strongest pro-independence case is that Canada and Alberta would have practical reasons to negotiate continuity for existing citizens, passports, permanent residents, workers, students, families, and cross-border mobility before any transition date.006immigration-passports-mobilityThe strongest anti-independence caution is that current citizenship, passport, immigration, residency, and mobility protections are embedded in Canadian systems and would become uncertain unless counterparties accepted replacement or continuity terms.007immigration-passports-mobilityThis topic remains high-uncertainty because the checked record does not yet contain binding Canada-Alberta citizenship, passport, immigration, residency, or labour-mobility terms for an independence transition.
