You do realize it's already July? This means you no longer have status in Canada and you're not supposed to be here.

Visa is what allows you to travel, especially by plane. You can be in Canada with an expired work/study visa, the permit is what counts. You will most likely not be able to return if you have an expired visa once you leave.

Permit, is what allows you in once at the POE and what gives you status in CANADA.

You can stay legally till June 2021. Your status is determined by your work permit, not the visa.

However, if you leave the country after Feb 2021, you will need a new visa to fly back. As long as you don't leave, you can stay till June.

Visa/counterfoils is just for traveling/ enter to canada, once you enter to Canad, the temporary record is valid as long as de permit is valid and passport expiration.
You are allowed to work till jun 2021.
If you leave Canada between feb 14 2021 and jun 2021, you need a new visa/counterfoild in your passport to re-enter to Canada.
