Yes I am in h1 b in USA. My family is in canada.
I have OWP but no job offer.
Do I need to have a job offer ?

Thanks
How come you have open work permit? Is it through your spouse's PR in progress /workpermit ?

You need valid visa and valid and relevant reason to enter the country for using your visa. I assume you require visa for your passport https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp. Do you have/need visa?
I dont know much about entering Canada using work permit.
I assume that Work permit is for people who are working. So call the cbsa and they will tell you if you can enter.

Check in core threads to get advice.

Job offer not needed since it is a OPEN work permit (not tied to a specific employer). I hope your W1 visa on your passport is still valid. You can enter Canada without any issues.

No idea on AVR and American rules.

EDIT: I was on open work permit few years back
