You should remain in Canada.

If you leave, there is no guarantee you will be allowed back in. If you are not allowed back in, your inland application will be canceled and you'll have to start again from scratch by applying outland.

As you've seen, the open work permit in no way guarantees you will be allowed back into Canada. Neither does the visitor visa.
