I'm not sure about your status between programs but you cannot work in between leaving your old program and joining the new one.

For pgwp eligibility gap between 2 programs shouldn't be more than 150 days.

In-between programs you are still a student if your study permit is valid but you can't work as you are not doing any studies.

All the best

Be aware that your visa may be cancelled if you are not studying for a prolonged period of time.

Ur study permit will be invalid after 90 days as it is most likely ur institute may report to IRCC look into that

Found below from CIC website (confused me as it says you can work in-between)

Students who have completed a program of study and will be starting a new program of study within 150 days of receiving a written confirmation of program completion from their current institution
Students may work off campus on a full-time basis until the start of their new program if the following applies:

• they meet the eligibility criteria to work off campus [R186(v)]
• they have received written confirmation of program completion from their current institution (for instance, a transcript or an official letter)
• they have submitted an application to change conditions, extend their stay or remain in Canada as a student before their current study permit expired, or they still have a valid study permit
• they have been issued a letter of acceptance to a subsequent program of full-time study at a DLI and will be starting the new program within 150 calendar days of receiving a notification of program completion from their current institution

If the new program of study starts more than 150 calendar days after the first date they receive written confirmation of program completion from their current institution, the student is eligible to work off campus only during the first 150 consecutive days after the first date they receive written confirmation of program completion. They should then either apply to change their status (for instance, change it into visitor status) or leave Canada until their new program commences.

From what I understood you would have to complete your first program and also have the offer letter of the second program.

Also you would have to have a valid study permit or you would have to submit for an extention of your study permit.

In OP's case he wants to withdraw from winter semester which would mean that he would not have completed the first program and is therefore not allowed to work. This rule does not apply.

OK.
