They will not want to see documentation of your status in Canada. They need to see valid, admissible ID for the destination they are sending you to.
As a dual citizen, I always leave Canada on my overseas passport if I travel to my other home country. That overseas passport does not have the required ETA, visa etc. to justify my presence in Canada. No airline ever had a problem with it.

Just wondering, [MENTION=869134]KDS777[/MENTION], [MENTION=3344]airoli[/MENTION], are your non-canadian passports from countries that are allowed to visit Canada short-term without any visa?
My other passport is malaysian, and malaysians are required to have an entry visa to canada, even for tourism < 30 days. And I read somewhere (forgot exactly where, could be wrong) that airline check-ins in Canada double as exit control for CBSA (canadian border security agency) since canadian airports don't have an exit immigration control. Maybe I'm just being overly paranoid here.
