Surrendering I-94 when travelling to Canada on AP

[tallbonobo]

I have the advance parole stamp in my passport, on a I-94 departure record card and on the AP form itself. I am a Canadian citizen traveling to Canada through US/Canada land crossing for xmas vacation. Do I need to surrender my I-94 card to the Canadian official? This sounds like a stupid question as this is exactly what it says at the back of the I-94 card. But I have never surrendered the I-94 (for TN or H1B) at the Canadian border before and it hasn't caused any problems. I just noticed the wording on the back of the I-94 and that alarmed me a bit. I am going to check if this wording is new. Any Canadians on this forum who might know? Many thanks and happy holidays to everyone.

We travelled to Toronto a couple of weeks back through the Sarnia POE.

I-94 was nevere looked at by the CIC!

While returning ofcourse if you do not have a current parole stamp already then you need to go for secondary inspection with the APs and will be given a new I-94 (happened for me).

My wife had no such inspection as she had a current stamp and an I-94 having travelled a month back.


Nothing to worry at all.
