Can I use work permit to enter to Canada

[Hello38]

I'm processing PR and was approved and I got eCoPR 2 months ago, but I've still not received the card. I have a plan to go to another country in 3 days. I have a valid work permit, in this case, can I use work permit when I come back to Canada?

Work permits are generally canceled once you land and become a PR. So you should assume you will not be able to use a work permit / TRV to return. You need to either have the PR card or a PR Travel Document or fly to the US and then re-enter Canada through a land border.

I didn't want to take a risk so I canceled my trip. If you must go outside of canada looks like you can apply PRTD, but there's weeks of processing time. Or you can return by a car through US. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=064&top=10

Once you get landed as pr previous permit or visa are nulled.
