Surrendering I-94 after GC approval

[waitinginlimbo1]

We have obtained our permanent residency cards back in Nov 2006.But when we had last entered the country (3 yrs back), our status was H1-B(mine) and H-4(my wife's). So we had I-94s issued to us on our last entry into the US which are now stapled to our passports.
We are now planning to drive to canada. I understand that only a valid passport and Green card is required.At the border, when we are entering Canada, do we need to surrender our old I-94 at the US port of exit?. Should we even carry the I-94 that we have right now in our passports or should we just remove it from our passports?.Can someone wh has been thorugh this please clarify?.

Thanks

--------when you ENTER Canada from US you dont face US immigration you face Canada immigration
Should we even carry the I-94 that we have right now in our passports or should we just remove it from our passports?.
------------------ Remove it. when you enter US from Canada you will face US immigration and give your I-94.
Can someone wh has been thorugh this please clarify?.

Hi ginnu,

Thanks for your response.Can you tell me if we even need to surrender our I-94 when we are coming back into the US?.Since we are permanent rsidents now, the I-94 has no meaning right?.So shouldnt we be able to reenter by just showing our GC and passport and not worry about the I-94??.

The I-94 has no meaning now, but it doesn't hurt to give it back when you re-enter. Why wouldn't you?
