Re: Dual UK / Canadian citizen stranded in Jamaica
Not true. Two of the passports has EU. So no way to tell which one is his.

Given his age, and the "he gets confused" statement, his daughter should certainly have done due diligence, before even booking the flights, to check wether there are any rule changes. My itinerary for a trip to Jamaica states:

T2 is similarly efficient. I always used to fly on two passports - checking in the my Canadian one but using the UK one to enter the UK. With advent of Canadian passports being able to be used in the e-gates last couple of times I traveled I left the British passport at home and just used my Canadian one. The e-gates have got busier as a consequence of expanding the number of countries that can use them, but are still pretty efficient.
I'll never not use a Canadian passport to enter Canada and i'll never not use a Maltese/EU passport to travel within Europe. |

As a Canadian you're still subject to immigration control in the UK. I'd still just use my UK one if I were you but that's just me.

As a Canadian in the UK I am subject to immigration control but practically speaking if thats swiping my passport at an e-gate and having my picture taken then thats fine with me. UK Border Force has no knowledge or restriction of my activities once in the country. If post-Brexit restrictions are tightened for Canadian citizens then I'll revert to using my UK passport. Sadly thats no longer an EU passport so you have the advantage with your Mattese one. As for returning to Canada, dunno about Maltese pp's but you have to return on your Canadian one if a dual national UK citizen. You wont be allowed on the plane otherwise as the gentleman in Jamaica found out.
I wonder if in the future (post EU-offboarding procedures for the UK, around 2022 ish) it would be more advantageous to visit the UK on a Canadian passport instead of an EU one. When I went to the UK in the summer I used my EU pp, as obviously the UK was still part of the EU and freedom of movement is in effect until end 2020 I believe? If the UK implements a system similar to ETIAS / ESTA / eTA then you probably will have to use your UK passport. |

When visiting the US, use your Canadian PP, not your British one. When visiting Brazil, use your Uruguay PP, not your Luxembourg one. Etc. As to post-Brexit UK, no-one knows which foreign passport will be best. I don't think any developed country has ever tried to forcibly change its region before. An interesting experiment to watch - from a distance. |

Even with visa-free travel, it's usually advantageous to enter a country with a passport of that region (given friendly relations, of course), e.g.

An interesting experiment to watch - from a distance. Ditto for when I visited Egypt last year. I needed a visa whereas my partner didn't and she has what most people would consider a far less desirable passport than I do. TLDR: geographic region rarely has a huge amount to do with it. |

Unlike the US, Canada and Australia, the UK presently has no laws requiring its nationals to enter on a UK passport. Realistically there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to receive an EVW or its 2021 equivalent under your Canadian identity if that's all you have. Of course, considering that the current EVW costs 50 quid for single entry, I'm not sure why you would. |
Re: Dual UK / Canadian citizen stranded in Jamaica
Turkey and Egypt are interesting examples, because their own region is such a disaster.
Many of the world's countries are embedded within regional agreements, e.g. CARICOM, ECOWAS, MERCOSUR, NAFTA, ANZCERTA, etc. Using an in-region passport usually makes the most sense, if one has a choice. |
Re: Dual UK / Canadian citizen stranded in Jamaica
So if I understand correctly dual USC-Canadian are exempt from needing to enter Canada on a Canadian Passport?
Ask because US requires USC to enter and exit the US on a US passport. |

Ask because US requires USC to enter and exit the US on a US passport. Travelling to or transiting through Canada by airDual Canadian citizens need a valid Canadian passport to board a flight to or transit through Canada by air.If your other country of citizenship needs you to enter and exit that country using a passport issued by its government, you will still need a valid Canadian passport to board your flight to Canada. Make sure you carry both passports when you travel. Find out more about why you need to travel or transit through Canada with a valid Canadian passport to avoid delays and/or possible missed flights. Exception: If you are an American-Canadian dual citizen with a valid U.S. passport, you don’t need a Canadian passport to fly to Canada. However, you still need to carry proper identification and meet the basic requirements to enter Canada. If you do not have a valid Canadian passport and are at an airport or flying to Canada in a few days, you may be able to apply for a Special Authorization. |

Ask because US requires USC to enter and exit the US on a US passport. The issue is being able to board an international flight to Canada in the first place. The main problem for many on this forum among others is that Canada will not issue an eTA to its own citizens so therefore you have no choice but to carry a Canadian passport if flying internationally unless you also happen to have US citizenship and that passport on you. |
