Best Answer

Not only can you, you must. To enter Canada on a Chinese passport, you'll need an eTA - an electronic travel authorization - and these are not available to Canadian citizens, even if they hold a foreign citizenship as well.

China may not recognize your dual citizenship, but Canada certainly recognizes your Canadian citizenship.
