Hi all!
I'm new to these threads so forgive me if this topic has been previously addressed..... I just can't seem to find any good answers to my questions!
I have dual citizenship with USA and Canada. I live in the USA. I have both an American and Canadian passport. I am planning on applying for a WHV with my American passport for New Zealand towards the end of this year. While I am in New Zealand next year, I want to apply for a WHV with my Canadian passport for the UK, England specifically.
So, my question(s) is(are):
Can I enter New Zealand with my American passport and leave with my Canadian one?
How does someone travel with two passports? (I only applied for my Canadian one this year)
Will the British embassy give me a hard time about not having any entry stamps in my Canadian passport into New Zealand when I go there to apply for my WHV? Will they want to see my American one and/or my WHV in my American passport?
Will I be able to obtain a WHV in both places since I have two passports (and dual citizenship)?
I just want to do everything correctly with as little hassle as possible. There doesn't seem to be anything prohibiting me from doing the WHV in each place, with the respective passports, I just don't know if anyone has done this before and if so, what would your/their advice be for my situation?

I don't know any of the specific visa questions, but I travel with two passports all the time. They're both American though. However, I always enter and exit countries using the same one. I think you would run into difficulty if you try to exit a country and show a passport that doesn't have a stamp indicating you ever entered the country. It would probably raise red flags.

YOu should enter and exit on the same passport.

BUNAC and swap.ca are good places for WHV as is workanywhereanytime

Canadian passports are better for WHV, so just use the one
