If you have doubt with the respondents before, why don't you just call USCIS office, I think you'll get the straight answer.

I thought i should share this experience. I went ahead and flew to canada on my expired card and NOA letter, the immigration at the canadian side understood very well what that meant he stamped my passport with a six months stay and within five minutes i was on my way into canada without a hassle. On my way back 2 weeks later today i gave the the U.S border patrol officer at halifax my card, letter and passport, first thing he asked was what was the letter for, i told him it was the extension, he read it over and over again then proceded to type in My Alien number in the computer and he said i was good to go. My trip was smooth on either side i did not spend more than five minutes at POE.

Thanks so much for getting back and posting this spencer! I'm sure interested in it, as I know it's kind of standard now to get the letter, and being from Canada I want to visit during that extention time. Glad everything went smoothly for you!
