I can confirm you can be dual citizenship of Canada and the US because one of my friends from high school is half American and got dual citizenship a few years ago.
I am on the "GO Canada!" boat and both my SO and I have decided not to move to the US. :P Hah neither of us are from there so I guess that makes sense! But in our case, my SO wants to move here to Canada but because of our circumstances I might end up moving there first. It's mostly due to family reasons, because he only has his dad. We thought it would not be too difficult to get his dad over, but all the ways required a lot of time or money and my SO can't really leave his dad alone in the UK for any extended amount of time because the rest of their family left them basically because they all looked to their own selfish desires over their family really, it's a long story. His dad is now looking to go back to university to brush up on some skills because he was also unemployed for a few years because he had a stroke, but is pretty healthy now compared to then so he might be able to come over on a skilled worker visa eventually. But until then I might go to the UK after I graduate from university here.
I love the UK.. more than my SO does, he loves Canada and he lives in the UK and sees more of the bad things more often. The thing that makes me feel bad about leaving Canada is my family so as long as we can visit every so often.. maybe even have a second house (one in each country) then we could travel back and forth but that will be depending on how much money we can make and save and also how things fit together. My SO has a fear of flying but he's working through his PTSD and OCD a bit now with counseling/CBT so hopefully he will be able to get over that soon. It's not even really a fear of flying but fear of lack of control. Which I totally understand as I have anxiety too.. but I just have better control over my anxiety most of the time in the sense that I can get over fears easier if I really want to or have to.
Good luck. I think in a LDR, both couples should be open to the idea of moving to the other person's country or it's not really fair.. because you have to give the other country the benefit of doubt. And also you don't want the other person to come to your country and be miserable.
