Peacock, welcome to Canada
Are yo sure its only 32 Kgs ??
I thought, a passenger flying to North America was allowed to carry 64 Kgs. Such a facility is not there when flying to INdia. The max allowed weight in that case is only 20Kgs ( a painful fact I learnt at Heathrow airport)

For "Air Canada" this is true. Now I have gone throught the site of Air Canada, where clearly mentioned 2 Bags of 32 kg. each

OK rule goes like this

1. To Europe - You are allowed 20KG only in Economy and 30Kg in Business Class
2. USA/Canada - You are allowed 2pieces of baggage of dimensions i thing 158 cms ( l x b x h ) and each peice not more than 32KG. Therefore one person is allowed total 64Kg.

Any extra baggage or extra dimensions or extra weight on same baggage qualifies for excess baggage charge by the respective airlines

Note

If you journey breaks in Europe and you decide to take a layover then from India to Europe Airlines will allow 20KG and then Europe to US 2 Pieces of baggage.

Also please note that Big Travel Agents in India etc sell volume sales on Airlines and hence can at times get you excess baggage waivers/free upgrades from the airlines. It all depends on how much you push with the travel agent and how good is your networking.

Also keep good networking at the airport as you will travel every year. Either with Civil Aviation Guys or with Airline Managers " Just say the magic word - You guys are excellent" and see the results .

See Alitalia Experience counts + networking always helps......

Heard about a supposed case recently at Bombay where an airline refused to check in cartons as checked baggage for a passenger traveling to Canada - insisted that he have either suitcases or a bag of some sort.

Has anyone heard of something similar? I've never tried to have cartons checked in myself (although I have had unaccompanied baggage sent across to Canada in cartons), - there was another user on this thread who had been planning to do that.

While other explanation seems good to me - I do not agree with your point for break journey. I have travelled a lot of times with break journey (breaks in Japan/taiwan/London/Amsterdam, Singapore, malaysia) but never had this rule applied to me. I specifically checked this scenario with the agent and reconfirmed with the airlines.

Only difference is that none of these journeys originated from India.
