Can I leave Canada while they process my post-graduation work permit?

[frankfurtvancouver]

I'm in my first year of studying in Canada and after studying, I'll apply for the post-graduation work permit. However, I want to travel through Australia directly after studying for a few months. It's my dream since years, so I'm not going to let CA immigration destroy that.

So two questions:

1. Can I travel in Australia for about 3-5months (which will then probably be while and after they process the application) without losing the work permit?

2. When they accept my post-graduation work permit (while I'm in Australia), do I have to return to Canada immediately after they accept it? Or can I still travel around on Australia for a month or so after they accepted the application without losing the post-graduation work permit?

I just can't find an answer to this on the Internet and I would be so glad if someone could answer me!

Thank you

1. To enter Canada you need a TRV, not PGWP. And you can't get a TRV without a valid study permit in hand.
2. While PGWP is under processing, you can leave/enter Canada as long as you have a valid TRV. If not, you will lose your implied status once you leave Canada.
