This is going to be interesting ..... (I'm a dual citizen that can theoretically obtain a third citizenship this year, though I'm debating whether I want to)

I've been doing it for the past 10+ years, so either I've been lucky for over a decade or this is totally OK to do. My green card is under my chinese name, while my aeroplan account is under my anglicized name.

1. Book my tickets under my anglicized name (so I can earn my AQM).
2. SFO-YYZ -- show canadian passport at OLCI, check-in, gate, customs
3. YYZ-SFO -- show canadian passport at OLCI, check-in. Go through pre-clearance with my GC+TW passport, switch back to canadian passport at the gate.

I don't know about the other countries, but my TW passport has two name fields, romanized chinese name + also known as so maybe that's how I can get away with it.
