I'm puzzlled - whats the benefit of entering UK on a British Passport? Canadian passports can (or could last time I travelled) use the same e-gates as UK passports. So no difference there.

I'm a British person entering Britain. Why would I pose as a foreigner?

There is nothing displayed mentioning any further shots.
While I can certainly agree with the slight inconvenience of using ArriveCAN (apparently you can use the website to add the information as opposed to the app) and the horror that awaits when you get to T3, what I don't agree with is misinformation about what proof of vaccination is needed when coming back into Canada.

Well that's all very gammon of you, blue passports, rah rah rah, but for all practical purposes, entering UK on a Canadian passport is exactly the same in terms of process, time taken etc than a UK passport if you use the e-gates.
Prior to Canadian passports being acceptable for e-gates, I did exactly the same - entered UK on my UK passport and returned to Canada on my Canadian passport. I still carry both just in case but could travel just as conveniently on just my Canadian one.

Wtf, how'd you get a pink passport?

I looked hard at the issuing officer, I smiled wryly and winked. That I was in a leopard print dress likely helped.

That, or they're all pink until they expire and you have to take a blue one.

Just to confirm again, no problems for me entering my Canadian passport details for online check-in, and actually using my British passport at the e-gates at LGW, and then using Canadian passport on the trip back to enter canada. This was outbound monday 5th / tuesday 6th (late flight monday) and inbound monday 12th.

You can (or at least you could last September when I last did it) use your Canadian passport at the e-gate at LGW/LHR as well. So you don't actually need your UK passport to have the same convenience.

Does anyone have a source on the "last shot within 12 months of entering Canada"? Last time I travelled it was 2 doses, no time limit. I don't ever remember reading anything in the news or on the government website indicating that's changed.

My post #22. I entered 2 weeks ago. No Covid testing. Last Covid shot must be within 12 mths of entering. ArriveCan must be completed before you check in.
