I sponsored my spouse and minor step-son to Canada during the covid pandemic. While we waited for his landing papers, he attended a private high school in Canada (on a visitor visa). Originally it was only supposed to be for under 6 months, but with the lock down, and travel shutdown, it got extended. We never applied for a study permit while the PR application was being processed, and the school only cared about the tuition payments.

by the time he applies for citizenship, he will have reached the age of maturity. Is the lack of a study permit for this brief period likely to cause an issue when he applies for citizenship?
