Re: just became usa citizen however now usa passport, have uk passport travel to Can
The short answer: yes. As Lansbury pointed out, if you are a USC, then you are required by law to use this passport when entering or leaving the US.
A UK airline will want to see the passport before they will even allow you to board the plane back to the US, esp since you will not have to complete an ESTA and you can't use the VWP to enter the US. Your natz certificate is not sufficient proof for re-entry.

that's why I said, or authorized travel document, as there are a few others apart from an EDL.

Re: just became usa citizen however now usa passport, have uk passport travel to Can
I remember a poem by John Lennon... in his book "A Spaniard in the Works".
I have a little budgie,
He is my very pal.
I take him walks in Britain
I hope I always shall.
I call my budgie Jeffrey,
My granddad's name the same.
I call him after granddad
Who had a feathered brain.
Oh... quite apropos in this thread!
The whole poem is here: http://askville.amazon.com/Budgie-fa...estId=12763855.

WOW i am amazed this thread has generated so much interest.
i am sitting at the airport just passed thru immigration the whole process took me 10 minutes.
i went up to the desk and was sent for a second interview, expected this
when i went into the second interview room i sat there for approx 5 mins and was called up, the officer told me and i quote "i have to let you into the us" this is your first warning if you travel again without a us passport there will be a fine of $545.00. he then gave me back my docs and told me i am good to go.
all in all painless experience, passport application goes in the mail tomorrow.
the one man crime spree has came to an end with no charges pending!!!

What, no body cavity search? TSA is getting pretty lax.

Ok, for the real test:
A) We now need someone to try this, from a far distant land.
B) We need someone, who became a USC several years ago to try this from Canada.
C) We need another volunteer, who became a USC several years ago, to try this from, a far distant land.
Anyone, someone.

Glad you got away with it - you were lucky to get a non officious POE type it seems....
However please tell me you won't be mailing your PP application and will instead be going to your local office to get the application in as it states on the DOS website?
