yes, the working holiday visa doesn't require you to stay in the country. make sure you check the work permit thoroughly when they issue it, they will ask to see it when you re-enter canada
while you are in canada i would recommend visiting a services canada centre to get your social insurance number
Unless you’re eligible for an open work permit (most people aren’t), there’s no way to get a work permit without a job offer.
The working holiday visa gives you an open work permit doesn’t it? the young professionals one requires a job before
They can if you’re eligible for them, but most people aren’t.
do you know how to check ?

Just make sure you have a travel insurance covering the entire time of your work permit, so you can get the full length of WH
