How so? If my mother and father moved to Canada before I was born and I was born there, I would be registered as Canadian with British heritage. Probably would have dual-citizenship as well.
I might be totally wrong but it's interesting to have discussed :)
Actually, as far as citizenship goes, it depends on the country in which one is born and its laws. The United States, for instance, has a system based on soil - if a child is born on American soil (be it actual land, waters or even a consulate abroad), it is a rightful American citizen. It is mainly like that both in North and South America. In France too, but in Europe it usually depends on your blood heritage, i.e. your parents nationalities. ;)

But that just means you have British heritage. If I were born in America, I'd be American.

Ah, I see, that's why I was confused XD Thanks for explaining it to me cause I wasn't sure at all. That's my thing learned for today :)
And, as you thought, some countries do grant dual citizenship whereas others make you choose just one.
