Can I travel outside of Canada while my spouse sponsorship application is being processed?

I have an open work permit (as a working holiday visa holder) and got married in October last year.
I submitted my spouse sponsorship application at the end of November and completed my biometrics in December.
My husband received an email stating that his eligibility was approved.
However, my application status has not been updated—it still shows 'biometrics pending,' and my background check is also pending. It seems like the process is taking longer than usual.

The problem is...
I have plans to travel outside of Canada—specifically, to my home country for two weeks in April to visit my family, and to another country for a one-week honeymoon in Summer, as we haven't had a honeymoon yet due to work.

Would these travel plans be okay?

I have no idea when I will receive Portal 1 & 2, so I’m concerned about whether my plans might affect my application.

Please advise.

if your visa is valid, you should be fine
