Yes you can. Your wife can travel as well but if she is denied entry into Canada on her way back the application will be seen as abandoned.
do not take risk of travel , based on officer in border may refused to re enter again in this case application will cancel

She will not be travelling.
I will be, I am a Canadian citizen. Are you saying I could be refused to reenter for random reasons or because I have an application in process and I’m not supposed to travel?
As Canadian citizen that doesn't apply to you. It would have applied to your wife if she was traveling with you or alone (because she is a visitor and it is not a guarantee that she will be allowed entry into Canada). You on the other hand can travel, and of course you can re-enter Canada... you are a citizen, won't have an effect on your application either (especially because it's a short trip). Unless you were leaving Canada for a much much longer time then you might not have qualified for inland sponsorship as it is a requirement that you live with your spouse in Canada.

When you say your wife is sponsoring you 'inland spousal application' do you mean Spouse open work permit?

If she is a PR or Canadian citizen yes she can travel outside Canada and re enter while the application is in process. It is however not advised for her as your sponsor to take long trips that might make it look like she is not living with you (PA) in Canada during the application process....
You as a citizen can definitely travel and re-enter without a problem. Your wife can travel as well and re-enter provided that she has a valid study permit, eTA, visa, and passport. As mentioned by others, any long trips (i.e. longer than 2-3 weeks) can be seen as an indication that you're not cohabiting thus risking your application. Me (the principal applicant) and my partner were in a similar situation (my PR got approved this month) and I had no problem re-entering multiple times while the application was being processed.
oh yes ... because they might get a visitor record when they re enter, if their passport isn't stamped then it's automatically 6 months
