Hello,
I've just received EAD card today but not a combo. My question is can I leave the country and return while the I485 is in process. I have a Canadian passport but yeh I currently havd had 3 years overstayed. Please advise.

Thanks

You don't have the parole portion. You won't be allowed back in

You need to receive the Advance Parole before you leave. Otherwise you will not only abandon your I-485 but also trigger a ban.

Do not leave the country without the I-130!

DON'T make the grave mistake of leaving.
You can leave the country but you probably WILL not be allowed in because, leaving the country while your I-485 form is being processed is viewed by the Department of Homeland Security 'AS ABANDONING YOUR APPLICATION'. Filing an Adjustment of Status (I-485) does not grant any immigration benefits.

As a side note, immigrants who previously overstayed are generally not advised to leave the country while their Adjustment of status application is still in process.

Thanks guys for inputs!
I've filed AP I-130 expedite today and faxed in all supportive documents requested.

Please stay safe

Leaving the country without AP will nullify your pending 485 application. They’ll consider the case abandoned.

Why would you leave without AP? I mean it’s common sense.....
