Hi everyone!

Me and my common law (I'm the principal applicant) applied for Bridging Open Work Permit 57 calendar days ago. We currently have Work Permits that expires the 1st of July. (We also applied for PR under CEC (Canadian Experience Class) and already sent our Medical Exams (and they received them 2 months ago).

The thing is, my parents are coming to town for the first time from South America and I wanted to drive them to Seattle (we live in Vancouver, BC) and maybe go to Hawaii. I know that it is risky to leave Canada while waiting for a new Work Permit, however mine hasn't expire yet and it's valid until July 1st. If I re-enter before July 1st, should it be any issue at the border? Can they refuse my entry?

Thanks a lot!
