Passport issue???

[evanstp9]

Hi all!
I recently read (in a guide by an immigration lawyer-consultant) that if you want to apply for a study permit, you must have already a valid passport for 3 years! Is there any truth in that???
For example, I issued mine a month ago, since I have been able to travel with my ID throughout Europe, so I never really needed a passport.
Please seniors give us your experience-knowledge on this...
