My passport expire before the end of my program, I already got my visa stamped. I am thinking of getting a new passport before going to canada. That way I will travel with both passports ( old and new) so my study permit will cover the total length of my program. Has anyone ever done this ? Is it okay ? Or should I wait and apply for extension in canada ?

Yes, you can travel with both passports before the TRV expires.

It is safe to get the renewed passport since you still have time at hand. There won't be problem traveling with both.
