Question regarding expiring work permit

[atticus]

Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm hoping I can get some answers here anyway!

My work visa expires next week and one of the conditions is I leave Canada by the 7th of February. I live in Vancouver and have a ski trip planned for next week up to Whistler with a few friends. Am I able to make a little road trip down to Seattle or Bellingham and then come back and enter Canada as a visitor and leave at the end of the month or will I have to fly out back home (to Germany) before the expiry of my permit?

Thanks

1.  You can either make the road trip or you can apply on-line for an extension to Vegreville as a visitor.  Will cost $75.  Your choice.  With the road trip, there is the chance you may not be admitted.
