I was granted an eTA for Canada but now I have an additional citizenship. Do I need to reapply?

I was granted an eTA for Canada but now I have an additional citizenship. Do I need to reapply? - Multicolor Heart Shaped Candies

I applied a few weeks ago for a Canadian eTA as I am planning to travel in a few months and wanted to have it before buying the plane tickets. I was granted the eTA on the spot.

When applying, I have specified my only citizenship at the time and left the 'additional citizenships' box blank. In the meantime, I obtained a second citizenship though naturalisation. The application form mentions I should apply for a new eTA if I change the passport I plan to travel with, but I don't mind using the passport associated with my first citizenship.

Should I get a new eTA anyway?

Can I apply for eTA Canada twice?

No. Once approved, your eTA is valid for five years or until your passport expires \u2013 whichever comes first. You can come to Canada as many times as you wish as long as your eTA remains valid.

Can I apply for a new eTA if I already have one?

Your eTA expires as soon as you start using a new passport, or otherwise five years after your application has been approved. If your eTA is about to expire, you will not be able to apply for an extension. However, you can always apply for a new eTA, even if the previous eTA has not yet expired.

Can I re enter Canada with eTA?

If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA. With a valid eTA, you can travel to Canada as often as you want for short stays (normally for up to six months at a time). You do not need an eTA for travel within Canada. An eTA doesn't guarantee entry to Canada.

How many times can I extend my visitor visa in Canada?
