Congrats! I had the same situation and as I understand is personal preferance if you want to change it, as you most likely hold two passports and can have either listed. If you hear otherwise let me know!!

You are correct. The license must show a current citizenship- if you have multiple the choice is yours which one to show (although I see no benefit in showing an alternative one if you do have Canadian citizenship). Unlike US Airman certificates, Canadian licenses and permits cannot show more than one citizenship so if you have multiple citizenships you have to chose which one you want to display on your license and, of course provide proof of it to Transport.

As you point out, citizenship laws are complex and determined by each country- for some countries the act of acquiring another citizenship means losing the one they had.
