As long as you applied your the BOWP before your current work permit expires, you will have the implied status since that expiry date until they made decision regarding your BOWP.

The BOWP is all you need if you are from a visa-exempt country. If nationals of your country require visas to travel to Canada, then you will also need a TRV. You can apply for that in Canada or outside.

Well if they ask then yes.. be truthful.. as long as u have valid travel permits they shouldnt have an issue granting you admission back into Canada.
