As far you carry your WP and your Visa if needed should be OK.

To lose the job doesn't mean WP is revoked.
In your case I guess you never started to work, that could be an issue for you (I don't think so) or perhaps even for the employer (apply for a LMIA and don't hire the worker), I don't know.

I more than five flights coming back to Canada as TFW nobody asked about it I still having the job, justa a valid WP was requested (and VISA if applicable )

That's my experience until January 2015, last time I came back, I don't know if nowadays things changed

To be 100% sure you'll need a inmigration expert advise, hopefully you can get a more qualified answer here.

yes you can go for a short vacation. The problem is when you come back here in Canada. You should provide valid visa and valId work permit.

When you get to the immigration, they will check these 2 documents. But what if they call your employer to confirm your work? What will you do? Usually, for us caregivers, when we come back from vacation, we have a letter of employment addressed to the immigration agents to confirm that we are still currently employed by them. On my experience, i dont show it unless they asked. But still, i have it on my hand just in case...

So for me, if you come back knowing that you Are not currently employed but have a valid work permit, is a risk you have to take.

I really don't know if could be a problem.

I came back like 5 times and no one asked me anything after check my passport and WP

But an officer can ask if he wants, and better don't lie

So, before leave try to confirm you'll be OK

Additionally, if you are citizen of a country that requires Visa, you need a valid Visa.

If your country don't need Visa, note that to leave Canada or to return Canada by Comercial lines after March 30, you need a Electronica travel authorization ETA
