Has anyone experience in reentering Canada from the US on implied status?

The Government of Canada page states that this is possible, but I am doubting if I should take the risk or not:
A temporary resident with implied status who has left Canada may be allowed to re-enter Canada as a temporary resident, pending a decision on the renewal of their application to study or work in Canada, provided they are temporary resident visa (TRV)-exempt, as per section R190, or on a multiple-entry visa.

Temporary residents from TRV-required countries who have implied status and are seeking re-entry to Canada following a visit solely to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon are still considered to be TRV exempt, as per subparagraph R190(3)(f)(ii). In this case, their period of authorized stay is extended, pending a decision. This interpretation of the legislation is consistent with the Federal Court decision of De Brito v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration);


What kind of proof do they need?

If I wish to enter Canada and in my passport is an expired visa I suppose they would like to see a proof of me being in the implied status.

They can see it in their system, they have access to that.

Nonetheless it is expected that you carry with you ALL your immigration documents (visas, permits, passports, ongoing applications, etc) and all other documentation that will make clear your purpose of visit (bookings, travel arrangements, invitation letters, etc. ).

Carry the acknowledgement of your application that will prove that you applied before your permit expired.
