Last I recall, Canadian rules didn't require a player to possess the ball to make what's considered to be an offside pass, but merely to direct the ball forward other than by the foot or lower leg. And the forward pass provisions are in terms of exception (among others) to the general prohibition on, and definition of, offside passes. And the forward pass provisions didn't require the ball to be thrown, therefore possession wasn't required there either.
