Schow said Scheer started the processing of renouncing his citizenship in August, before the federal election campaign started, and the paperwork is now being processed by the U.S. government.

"Like millions of Canadians, one of Mr. Scheer's parents was born in another country and immigrated to Canada to start a family. He and his sisters received United States passports as children and Mr. Scheer has not renewed his as an adult. He has not voted in any United States election," Schow said in a statement.

The current wait time to renounce U.S. citizenship is roughly nine to 10 months for applications filed at the U.S. embassy in Ottawa.

When asked Thursday why he has not previously disclosed his U.S. ancestry, Scheer said nobody ever asked him.
