Hi everyone, I have a question about dual citizenship/passport. I really appreciate anyone who could provide some similar scenarios or suggestions.

I was an international student and have been actively studying in Toronto for my secondary school and my bachelor's program. And have just obtained my PGWP, and ALL DOCUMENTS MATCH MY PRC passport NO., with one UCI, no biometrics information has been done yet due to exemptions during the pandemic.

I also obtained my HONGKONG SAR passport in 2020 and would like to return to CHN this summer to cancel my CHN passport. My question is,
1- Can I enter Canada by using my Hong Kong SAR passport and the PGWP with CHN PASSPORT information on it ?

2- If not, Can I apply for a Hong Kong OWP permit under the temporary policy (3-year OWP for graduates within 10 years) when I return to Hong Kong, and then use my Hong Kong SAR passport with the LOI and enter Canada? which means that my PGWP will not be used, as I cancelled my CHN passport already.

3- If I can apply again, should I use the same UCI in my previous PGWP in my HK OWP online application form?

Thanks sooo much, if anyone has a similar situation and can share the solution, I would be grateful as I will be back in two weeks.

thanks !!!
