Hello,
I'm filling out the form for getting an open work permit (after receiving the first stage approval letter). I entered to Canada with my Mexican passport but I'm thinking if I should use my Spanish passport for the work permit, in case I leave Canada for some weeks and I come back, as my visitor's visa, as a Mexican, expired, and I don't need a visa as a Spanish citizen.
Thank you!

It doesn't matter.

Note that with an inland app, you are advised to not leave Canada.

Hey ,
use the same ID when you applied 1st time , your Spanish citizenship allows you to stay in Canada for a max of 6 months , so it's almost the same as your Mexican Visa . But if you are applying Inland you can leave Canada and re-enter with your Spanish Passport .
