I just got my COPR, and I haven't do the landing yet. My work permit will expire on Nov 30. and I want to leave the country on Dec 5 and come back do my landing on Dec 11.
Can I still work after my work permit expires? Or i have to leave Canada on Nov 30?
Thank you all for your help!

No, if you don't land before Nov 30, you can't work once your work permit expires, and you will no longer have legal status in Canada
Until you land, you remain a temporary resident with a work permit. So either leave Canada before Nov 30, or land as soon as you can

If I leave on Dec 1st, is there gonna be a problem when I do my landing later? :)
Technically yes, if you overstay you could get yourself in trouble.
Realistically, I don't know. I've never done that and I'm not planning to ever do so, so I can't give you an answer
