Anyone going to US and back while on maintained/implied status waiting for work permit extension approved?

Dear friends, I need your advice.

I have an inquiry about leaving Canada to US and back while on maintained/implied status waiting for my work permit extension to be approved. I am from VISA required country. I have held a LMIA-exempt work permit for a year since last August. My work permit and temporary visa all expired this September. I applied for work permit extension before my work permit expired and now I am working under the implied status.

However I need to go to the US next month and my work permit extension should not be approved at that time given the long processing time (166 days). I read online

IRCC said I can still come back from the US and even apply for a new work permit at the border.

Is this really the case? Is there anyone has the same experience with me? Thank you so much for your help!

You’ll lose implied status if you leave Canada. You may be able to return but won’t be able to continue working if you leave Canada while on implied status.

Thanks! It Seems that I can apply at the border... Not sure

Hello, I’m in same case. I filed my closed work permit extension in may 23, I received request for additional document in sep 23, I replied back with document within 2 days, work permit expired in October 23. The multiple entry stamp on my passport is valid till April 24. I’m currently on implied status and I have to go to US next week. Can you tell me what happened in your case? Did it impact your visa renewal processing. Were you allowed to work upon return to Canada?
