Does anyone know if they verify the eTA validity during online check-in or at the check-in counter (I'd assume I will get a "see agent" message at OLCI since they are usually pretty cautious about this kind of things) Can I just check in with my Canadian Passport and just show them my British passport to the GA?
Hopefully the passport is less than 10 years old, and is still valid! If you are even eligible for a British passport you can't get an ETA.
I flew to the UK 3 weeks ago and had zero issues checking in-online using a British passport. And no problems on the way back using my Canadian one. I didn't fuss about any existing profile.
