I applied for my pgwp on 11 October, seriously wondering if to leave the country for a vacation while I wait, still have a valid study permit...thoughts?

I traveled to the US and back multiple times for work while I was waiting for my PGWP; never had a problem at the border (and unlike you, I didn't even have a valid study permit any more).

CIC's guidance on this is pretty clear. Just make sure that you have a valid eTA/TRV (as applicable) when you return, and proof that you have applied for the PGWP.

In a case of a three year program, I did not work and did full times studies except ....on 1 scheduled summer break I did full time work and 1 course.....would that be a problem for my pgwp?

Yes, I applied my spouse's WP with my job offer letter. I also uploaded three pay slips later via web form.
I didn't upload transcript. Just the completion letter.

Single applicant.

My husband was also eligible for a PGWP, so we decided to both apply individually for our permits.

Did you upload both degree completion letter and transcript while applying? I didn't upload transcript that's why worried if they reject my application!
Thanks for sharing.
