When work permit is approved, do I immediately have to go to Canada and get it?

[frankfurtvancouver]

Dircetly after applying for my post-graduation work permit, I will leave Canada and travel through Australia for a few months while they process my application. However, when they approve my post-grad work permit, I still want to continue traveling in Autralia for a month or so.

Do I have to return to Canada and get the post-graduation work permit directly after they approve it or can I continue traveling in Australia for a while (month or so) without losing the work permit? (So can I basically out it "on hold")?

Thank you

I guess you'll receive a Letter from CIC with a expiration date, be sure to come back before that date.
