Exit the Country while waiting for Open Work Permit

[jgalindo]

Hello Community,

My wife and I are facing the following situation and we would like your input:

Background:

1.- I am a fulltime MBA student with a valid student visa (Venezuelan citizen)
2.- I applied for a visitor visa for my wife (Russian citizen) to come to Canada. She got a 3 year multiple entry visitor visa. My son is a US citizen so he didn't need a visitor visa when entering.
3.- Once inside Canada we applied for OWP for my wife on Oct 15 2015. We know the process takes about 3 months to complete
4.- We would like to visit our family in the US for Christmas and come back after 2 weeks.

Our questions is:

- Can my wife and son go to the US while their OWP and dependent visa are getting processed?

I appreciate your support!
