Are there any problems with claiming dual nationality?

Yes, there can be. There are a few countries in the world that can be quite strict with their citizens about requirements like compulsory service in the military or paying taxes. If your parents fled such a country, it could cause problems for you if you travel there. You should look into the status of your parents with their homeland if you suspect there might be trouble. If you do have trouble when you arrive there, you should immediatley contact the nearest Canadian mission for help.
