I am not clear on this point: our son, who is half Canadian only has his Canadian citizenship card, and not his Canadian passport (he travels on his Norwegian passport). When we move to Canada, is it OK for him to just have this card when we arrive at the Canadian airport? Or would having the passport help matters in any way?
And in case it matters: I am Canadian and my wife and step-daughter are not, but are currently having their immigration papers processed.

My 3 1/2 year old son and I are Canadian, but we live in the US right now. I am wanting to fly back to Canada for a visit with my son but his Canadian passport expired in Feb 07. Can I use his expired passport and birth cert to get into Canada then back into the US?

You can get into Canada, but you may have difficulties flying back to the US. See: http://canada.usembassy.gov/content/content.asp?section=can_usa&subsection1=borderissues&document=borderissues_whti
I am a Canadian and study overseas, but not clear on this matter: my Canadian passport was expired in Apr. 2012. When I move to Canada in next year, is it OK for me to just have my Canadian Citizenship card with a BC Driver licence when I arrive at the Canadian airport?

If you have to renew your passport, you may be able to do it through the mail, see http://www.ppt.gc.ca/info/form.aspx?lang=eng®ion=international or if you would rather go to a Canadian embassy or consulate, you can find a list here: http://www.voyage.gc.ca/contact/offices-list_liste-bureaux-eng.asp and it also says which ones are offering passport services.
