I live in US. I am planning to go to India next month. Can I combine this with my landing ?

Can I land in Toronto, stay there for a couple of days and proceed with my journey to India from there.. are there any issues doing like this ?

Also do I need to surrender the I-94 in this case when I leave the US as I will be traveling out of canada and not returning back to US from Canada.

-- YES.
 
You infact have two choices with the I-94. You can surrender your I-94 with the ticketing/border agent when you fly/enter Canada. Or you can surrender it when you board your India bound flight in Toronto.

-- Normally, the ticketing agent in the US do not take the I-94 cards for the flights departing for Canada. It is mentioned on the I-94 that it should be surrendered to the cdn immigration officer when you enter Canada.

-- I do not think you can do that - I would follow the instructions on the I-94 (mentioned above)
 
You are right, they will not normally take it. However if you ask them they will.

A few relatives of mine have successfully done this. They were visiting family in both Canada and the US. They started off in the US and left North America from Canada. The international flight ticketing agent did take the I-94 when a request was made. When the relative returned to the US next year, the DHS database knew of the correct departure date from Canada.

Remember, every international Canadian airport has a US port of entry stationed by DHS employees. I assume I-94s collected make it to the officers at that POE who then enter it to the system.

Good piece of information, thanks for sharing. It is good to know the first hand experiences (or that of the known relatives, in your case).
