Hey folks. Here’s my predicament;

I store my passport in a passport protector which holds two passports. Which I packed when I left Canada and it had two passports in it. However I didn’t realize until when I got to Australia I had accidentally packed my new and old Australian passports! Quite the blunder!!

Had anyone had any experience entering Canada on an Australian passport as a Canadian citizen?!

What are my options?!

Thank you!

You won't be allowed to board a plane with just your Aussie passport.

Two options:

1 - Fly to the US and re-enter Canada through the land border.
2 - Get a temporary Canadian passport issued.
