That I understand, but I'm studying in Quebec and therefore need to renew my CAQ before renewing my student permit. My only concern is that I won't have time to do both in the span of 3 months, since I've been told that the study permit does take a while to be processed.
That is why I want to know if I would be able to go to the border and renew my study permit there.
It's very unclear on the CIC website.
