Entering the US to renew your visa doesn’t necessarily work. CBSA has final say at entry and can
  1. Allow you entry and grant you 6 months
  2. Allow you entry and grant you any time from 1 day to 6 months
  3. Allow you entry with the existing visa with the time left.
  4. Deny you entry to Canada.
It really is a risky way to try and extend or renew your visa. Entry with a TRV is never guaranteed and CBSA tends to frown on people trying this. Best bet is what was mention previously and apply for an extension.
