Port of entry - overstayed the time allowed by his visa in the USA

My parents need to go have their work permit replaced with the new LMO and job offer.
They are planning to go to Canada-US border to do so.
But the problem is, as my subject indicates, that my father had stayed in the States three years ago as an undocumented alien after his application for green card was denied. He had to wrap things up before he came back to his home country. He is now working in Canada.
If he goes to the border, will he be able to flagpole to Canada without trouble? He is worried that the US officials may not sign the papers needed to return to Canada. Well, he is technically not entering the US, just flagpoling.

Can anyone shed an insight on this matter for my hardworking parents?
