You should indicate what country you are from.

Hi! I'm having almost the same problem as you. I got my embassy to send me a document saying that they were closed and that it was not possible for me to get a renewal. But I sent an email to IRCC a couple of days ago and they answer me saying to submit the application to extent my permit and when I had my missing document (my passport), to submit it. Also you need to write a letter explain that you are being affected by closures because of COVID 19. So, as long as you submit your application to extend your study permit (before it expires), and a letter explaining that your embassy is closed due to covid, but you will submit your new passport as soon as you can renew it, it should be fine! well... hopefully haha thats what I am doing. Hope this helps you!
