I found the information I sought:
http://travel.state.gov/tcn.html

The "permit" is the I-94 form. I'm just showing here that one does not
need to surrender it when leaving to Mexico or Canada. I still don't know
if it is legal for a foreigner to pass the boundary into/out of Canada on
the PCT and what penalties might wait.

Ilja.
