Processing for OWP takes about 16-17months.
PR application another 16months.
You can leave Canada as long as you still have a valid work permit, a letter from your employer stating you're still working with them and a TRV(need to apply).Cheers!

I wish i could do something about the processing....If you are in Toronto area we(eventhough im not from there)and some caregivers are organizing a protest for the processing time for OWP & PR and some concerns for LCP. PM me then.....

Heres a link for the TRV:
