UA would be within its rights to ask you to prove admissibility to Canada at any time. In practice, they probably wouldn't do so until you boarded the flight to Canada, but they could.
Personally, I wouldn't look at this as "Can I perform this maneuver which is against the Contract of Carriage and get away with it?" Rather, I would say, "holy cow, UA is willing to pay me $8000 to spend a weekend in Canada!" And then I'd book a Y return flight from YYZ/YUL/YVR/wherever and enjoy my trip.
