If I lose my passport in the US and the I94 along, how will I prove I left US soil?

I emailed the embassy of the USA (in the city I was staying before I visited the US), and their answer was that once I left the US soil, there is no procedure to report a departure in case of lost I94. They added that a stamp obtained when entering another country (crossing the land border to Canada in my case) was enough to prove I left the USA.

For a next visit to the USA, I shall keep the entry stamp as a proof and I can enter under the conditions of the Visa Waiver Program (no need to apply for a visa).

You can apply to replace a lost I-94 by filing I-102. It’s very expensive though. It might be worth checking the I-94 website in case they have it there, in which case you can print it out; though it’s unlikely in your case.

How are you leaving the U.S.? According to this page, if you leave by air, you don’t have to turn in an I-94. But if you leave by land, then you need to turn in an I-94, so you might need to get a replacement. Or maybe if you don’t turn it in you can try to resolve it out with CBP the next time you try to enter, with proof that you entered Canada or Mexico.
