Hi - I have a very peculiar situation. My 6yr old daughter's Indian passport expired in May 2016 and we need to travel to US to return the I-94. While I dont see huge issues in crossing the border (we are happy to be turned back to Canada - which is what I want). My question more so is - when i enter Canada (all our PR cards are valid), will the officer question about the expired Indian passport or he/she will let us through since our PR cards are valid. I plan to renew the Indian passport asap though.
DOnt have time. Passport renewal will take 4 weeks and I need to return the I-94 by end of 25th June. I just saw the passport like yesterday and came to know that it has expired.

Hi all - returned the I-94 today at Pearson. Went to Terminal 1 departures, but they directed me to T3 arrivals. Went to the CBSA counter and handed over to the CBSA officials. The way they spoke about I-94 looked like they were aware and are authorized to collect it. So, handed it over to them. Hopfully it should reach the right people on the other side. Will come to know only next time when we visit States. As a precautionary measure, I will take my payslips for past 3-4 months + phone bills, etc just to prove I indeed was in Canada all the time. Lets see....

That's odd. I don't know why they sent you to Terminal 3. I dropped off a friend's I-94 in Terminal 1 few months ago. They are doing some new construction/renovation to Terminal 3 though. May be they opened up a "new" office.
I asked the CBSA lady twice if I can get some kind of confirmation of drop off and she got mad wanting to return me the slip and told me to take it to the American customs myself if I did'nt trust her.
ya.. they get angry soon. All in all, i still feel its always better to return at the Land Border crossing at Niagara, etc. Better to be safe than sorry. Anyhow, our next visit to US is around Christmas 2016. Will come to know that time... fingers crossed till then.... !
