OTTAWA — A new rule requiring some Canadians with dual citizenship to use a Canadian passport to enter the country takes effect today.
The federal government announced the rule earlier this year — it doesn’t apply to those who have dual Canadian-American citizenship.
A new electronic system will scan passports at check in to verify that all passengers boarding flights have the appropriate documents to enter Canada.
The government was set to start enforcing the new rules at the end of September, but held off until today because some travellers complained that they didn’t get enough notice to get a Canadian passport.

I have Dual Citizenship, use my Euro Passport when traveling, what now I can’t enter Canada my place of residence since 1967,
then I will renounce my Canadian Citizenship and just be a permanent resident.
Would be nice to know “Some,” points too which countries????
Why you must travel with a valid Canadian passport: Starting November 10, 2016, a new Government of Canada electronic system will verify that all passengers have an appropriate travel document before they can board a flight to Canada. This process will happen automatically when your travel document is scanned during check-in for your flight.
This change is part of a broader Government of Canada initiative aimed at ensuring that all Canada-bound passengers have appropriate travel documents to enter the country before they board their flight.
For Canadian citizens, including dual Canadian citizens, you must present an acceptable travel document that shows that you are a Canadian. This means you need a valid Canadian passport (or a Canadian temporary passport, or a Canadian emergency travel document) to allow airline check-in staff and border officials to confirm that you are Canadian.
A valid Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel document that provides proof that you are a citizen and have the right to enter Canada without being subjected to immigration screening. Make sure that the expiry date of the passport is well beyond your planned return date.
