Hello,

You can travel to your country because you have a work permit. Have in mind that; your resident permit that you applied for or you have is been terminated because you now have a work permit.

Getting a work permit is like exchange with your resident permit.

My case: I applied for one year resident permit renewal and I was waiting for my permit card, a school called me and applied for a working permit with my former resident permit (before it expired) and I got my resident permit after one week and after two weeks working permit came but my resident permit is no longer valid because I now have working permit despite I received the resident permit (maybe ship late).

So, you have no problem and you can travel.
