Ajaxxio, why not just apply for a new Canadian passport before travelling. Can the Canadian Embassy there do a quick passport (likely costs more) if you are on a tight schedule before travelling?

Hello again

I did not ask for a renewal in Lebanon, i thought it'll be better to renew it in Canada. The question is that since i can hold 2 passports, can i eneter to Canada with my valid Lebanese passport and eneter with my Canadian citizenship to Canada since i am a Canadian citizen?

Thanks

I don't think so. Citizenship card or expired passport is not considered as a valid travel document and your lebanese passport does not prove that you are authorized to enter Canada.
You can hold 2 passports but I don't think you can use them both for same trip.
