Thank you for the link. I see a point here
The person does not have a pending or rejected application for a new visa. Since it is not possible to renew a non-immigrant visa in the U.S., a person on a non-immigrant visa may travel to a nearby country to apply for a new visa.

I have currently applied for H-1B amendment but the current petition I have is valid until end of this year. Would I be still qualified to come back from Canada without any issues?

Any thoughts on this - I will be soft landing at airport and have prepared an excel document with list of items I am carrying with me, and another list of items that I can bring later.
Questions-
is it ok to bring printed excel list or I need to fill in specific form?
I am reading mixed answers on this topic everywhere.

That's fine. Having the form filled just saves a little bit of time, but it is not required.

BSF186 for goods you are carrying with you at time of landing and will leave in Canada
BSF186a for goods to follow.

Ok then I need to fill out BSF186a only. As I will be carrying laptop and phones with me but that will stay with me when I leave. I will include everything in BSF186a form. Thanks.

Carry a form of the bsf186 as well as the officer will probably ask you hand that in with no goods listed but just your landing details date/ address etc

Hi. In the same boat as you. I'll be doing my soft landing via peace bridge in Oct. Did you fill Goods to follow list before reaching there or you get the form there and then you fill it out? If before, where can I find the form so that I can have it filled before going to save time.

It doesn't matter if you fill or not during your soft landing. I've never filled anything during my soft landing and has only declared when I moved to Canada permanently. Good luck!
