Study permit extension and work permit

Hello everyone!

I'm an international student planning to graduate in January. My student visa expires on December 31st, so I applied for an extension. However, it will take a few months for the extension to be approved, and by then, I will have already graduated.

I know I can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) while waiting for my student visa extension to be processed, but I won’t be able to work during this waiting period. My question is: once I receive my work permit, will I be able to leave the country and re-enter with my work permit?

Thank you!
