TRP while work permit pending

[Phe]

Hi guys

I am a Malaysian citizen with a New Zealand PR status (Ive been living in NZ for about 20 years). My husband who also lives in NZ is a NZ and Canadian citizen.

Anyway, he is starting a new job in Canada early Nov, and his company want to send me over on a TRP so that they can get me there in time. Problem is, i wont be eligible to work.

My employer are willing to transfer me to our office there. But this provess would take 6-8 weeks for the work permit.

Would i be able to go to Canada on a TRP (accompany my husband), while the work permit is pending, and once the work permit has been approved, i leave Canada and reenter to register the work permit??
I do not mind being out of work while the work permit is pending as long as i can accompany my husband to Canada in Nov.

Also, does anyone know a better option for me? Considering im a wife of a Canadian Citizen?

Thanks
