Re-entry and Second WHV

I entered the country December 11 2024 and it was initially a 6 month visa until June 11 2025. I extended my visa until December 11 2025.
I left Japan on June 23 2025 and am now back in Canada and would like to apply for a second Working Holiday Visa.

However, when I was departing from Narita airport, they told me to complete a re-entry permit as I said I would like to be back in the country around mid to end of November 2025.

I called the Toronto Consulate of Japan and have a visa appointment for my second WHV on October 20th 2025, however, they said because I have a re-entry permit for Japan, I may face issues when I land in Japan.

Do you have any suggestions on how my I can re-enter Japan in November with a second Working Holiday Visa?

Is there a way for me to cancel my re-entry permit?

Should I fly to Japan for approximately a week in October, cancel my first Working Holiday Visa and then return to Canada to obtain my second Working Holiday Visa?
