I am a US citizen currently applying for sponsorship outland while living inland.

I have an extension for my visitor's status and I was wondering if I get called to the US for an interview will I be able to get back into Canada? Is there any special documentation I would be afforded that would let me back in or would it be up to luck?

I know the chances of an interview aren't high, but I would like to know in advance to plan accordingly.

Unless you have some big red flags, your chances for an interview are extremely low. It is almost not even worth thinking about it. If by some miniscule chance you need one, your application will get transferred to LA so you'll know about it.

As a US citizen, you don't need any special documentation to enter Canada other than your US passport.

I'm happy to hear that.

I just mean that my visitor's extension doesn't guarantee re-entry and since I've been in Canada for more than six months I'm just worried about that tiny possibility.

then make sure you have proof of ties to the us. once you are at that stage of the pr process, there is probably a slim chance of denial unless there is significant proof of you working illegally or something else less savory. stop worrying about something that probably won't even be an issue.
