Will a CBSA officer be suspicious, if a dual Canadian citizen uses his other passport to enter Canada?

Accepted answer

The Stack Exchange answer you refer to is out of date.

Canadian Immigration now says this:

Canadians citizens, including dual citizens, need to fly to Canada with a valid Canadian passport

There is an exception for American-Canadian dual citizens referred to on the same page (thanks @Phoog)

Your father will need to use his Canadian passport to enter Canada.

Passports are matched by name and place and date of birth. If your father uses his Hong Kong passport it is possible that Canadian Immigration will match it and he will then need to explain why he's not using his Canadian one.
