One way is to arrange to have a TC inspector sit in on your FAA ride. You just have to pay all his expenses for the trip.

How else can he do it without setting foot in Canada?

Maybe he can just send some forms to Canada and ask nicely? :D

Talk to the organization that is doing your ride and see if they have anyone on staff or nearby who also does canaian rides. A lot of the time there are people qualified in the States to do Canadian rides.

If the only reason you want to keep the Canadian IR valid is to avoid writing the exams after two years of being expired, then just keep copies of your US rides. Present this proof of currency when you get set up to do a ride in Canada.
