Are you sure? If that's true, then anyone can just travel with an expired passport.If your are going back to your home country , you are allowed to even with expired passport, it must be a direct flight. (this is applied to my home country)

directly back to own country , Yes am sure that my country allows it, adding to it the country own airline, and I used itAre you sure? If that's true, then anyone can just travel with an expired passport.
You see that's the thing, what should I tell the airport on why my passport is expired? Eventually I would have to tell them my situation and therefore they will turn me over to immigration officers. Will possibly be detained too.directly back to own country , Yes am sure that my country allows it, and I used it
Most airlines will not allow you to travel with an expired passport. You should be contacting your home country embassy to obtain an emergency travel document.You see that's the thing, what should I tell the airport on why my passport is expired?

Thank you. That's mostly what they're trying to tell me, to get an emergency travel document.Most airlines will not allow you to travel with an expired passport. You should be contacting your home country embassy to obtain an emergency travel document.
If you turn yourself over to immigration then you put yourself at risk of being detained for an unknown period of time. No one can tell you how long you may be detained. There's no fixed period of time and yes, it's possible you could be detained for months. You should make your own arrangements to leave and pay for your own flight to avoid this situation.Sorry I didn't tell y'all that I can't access my money in the bank because my debit card is expired I couldn't renew it coz I couldn't present a valid id and I don't have enough money to buy a plane ticket so I was thinking if I turn myself over to immigration they might give me a free flight but I'm also worried that they might detain me first. And who knows how long will they detain me. I heard you can be detained for months.
Transfer your money overseas beforehand then. You can't travel without a valid travel document and it's the responsibility of your country to issue you one. Once you reach out to your embassy, they will guide you and it should be a pretty straightforward process. For most countries, you can't renew your passport at a foreign mission without having valid status in that country but they will 100% issue a emergency travel document to return home.Thank you for the response. But is that as simple as it is? My guess is my embassy would not give me a travel document, They will instead turn me over to the immigration office. And I think the airport would report me once they found out that I don't have legal papers instead even if I'm able to get a emergency travel document. They won't let me board the plane and would have to get in touch with the CBSA first and then they will call my embassy and ask to get me a travel document. Don't you think?
About my bank account, I can't cash it all out. It's too many. I can still access it when I get home and once I get there I will transfer the money to my local bank account. My only concern is, will the immigration communicate with my canadian bank account and ask to freeze my account since I earned it without having no record of employment. I did a cash-based work and I just deposited it to my bank. Or will they ask if I have any bank accounts at all? Is it non of their concern? Thank you.
Note; My passport is expired.

Thank you. This is the answer that I'm looking for. Stay away from the authorities' attention as much as possible.

CBSA would rather have you leave voluntarily and not detain/pay for your ticket. As @scylla mentioned, there is no exit control in Canada but CBSA receives record of flight itinerary from airlines so they would know regardless that you are gone.
You have committed immigration and tax fraud, so it's really in your best interest to work with your country's mission, get a travel document and get out of here without getting too much attention from Canadian authorities. Good luck.
Tbh, a few things don't add up really in your story but It's not really the forum to discuss what's fair or unfair. At the end of the day, hopefully you have received the advice you were seeking and now it's your life and you do what you have or want to do.Thank you. This is the answer that I'm looking for.

But to be fair to myself, yes on record it is a tax fraud but technically I was paying my tax duty because I was way underpaid by my employer (below minimum wage) and I worked hard for it. It wasn't a free lunch.
I would love to answer any questions that you have in mind, but there's no point in disclosing my entire situation now since I already found the answer that I'm looking for. But this is what I can promise you, I'm not a fraud or a criminal. Everything that I worked for were done in good faith. I was a victim of a failed Canadian system that's why I ended up overstaying 'cause I didn't want to go back home a loser (empty handed) so I stacked up.Tbh, a few things don't add up really in your story but It's not really the forum to discuss what's fair or unfair.

Yeah it's the wrong term. But I get what forevermore76 is saying. I think the right term is tax evasion,Not how tax fraud works but what is done is done.
I meant being paid cash at a lower hourly rate does not make up for not paying taxes.Yeah it's the wrong term. But I get what forevermore76 is saying. I think the right term is tax evasion,
