The Canadian TSB reported maintenance found no fault and suspected that de-icing fluid from the pre-departure application had entered the environmental system of the aircraft and caused the smoke. The aircraft was returned to service, departed again but needed to return a second time for the same reason.
The aircraft departed again after about 5 hours on the ground but stopped the climb again at 3000 feet due to smoke in the cabin and returned to Toronto for a safe landing a second time.
