Can I enter Canada anytime with an open work permit as long as it is valid?

I have my PGWP (Post graduate work permit) that I applied from outside Canada because I left Canada due to a serious dental problem. I got this permit recently and it is valid for 1 year (till April 12 2026), can I enter Canada in the month of October when my dental treatment is supposed to end?

My concern is that at the port of entry the agents who will print my work permit might flag this as suspicious because I did not enter Canada for the first 6 months. I would appreciate any advice on the matter.

You need a valid TRV to enter Canada.
