Depends on how you will travel back to Canada. If you drive across the border, you don't need a travel document (your COPR and passport will suffice for non-commercial means of transportation). If you are flying back directly to Canada, you'll need a travel document from the nearest Consulate of Canada in the US (unless you are visa exempt to Canada, in which case you could probably convince the airline to let you board)
