Leaving and returning to Canada on BOWP.

[CanadaPR0012]

Hi Folks,

I have received my BOWP two weeks ago and I'm currently unemployed. I'm flying out of the country next week (for 3 weeks), and I need your advise please...
Can Border Officer deny my entry to Canada (or even revoke my BOWP) because I'm currently unemployed and have no job offer. Is there any legal rules or regulations which apply to my situation? I found nothing on CIC web site.

I'm from visa-exempt country, so I don't need temporary visa.

Thanks in advance.
