hello

I am from India and have received admission and CAQ for my masters program (Jan 2016) in Montreal and will be applying for study permit very soon.

My passport will expire on April 2018 so if i get a new passport then will i have to re-apply for study permit ?

My course starts on 6 Jan 2016 and it is a Masters course (2 years) although the admission letter also says that it can complete till fall 2017, but taking 2 years complete, it finishes on Jan 2018.

My passport completes 10 years on April 2018 and it cannot be renewed, new passport will be issued and my passport number will change so if i get my new passport during this time can/do i reapply for my study permit ?
And can i do this while I am in Montreal or do I need to come back to India ?

Most likely u will get visa and study permit till the expiry of ur passport so u will have to renew ur passport then renew study permit. In case u get visa for more then ur passport expiry (very rarely this will happen)since ur from india u will get ur old passport back so u can use the Visa on the old passport till it runs out. They wont transfer visa from old to new passport so u will have to carry both passports with u.

u can apply for new passport from canada as well as study permit renewal from canada

I re Issued my passport last month. U can get a Re-Issued Passport(with expiry extended to next 10 years from date of Reissue).

When u will go for reIssue, Passport office will stamp "cancelled" on your Old passport and return it to you, though will not be of any use anymore.

ReIssued Passport will have a field for "Old Passport number" on last page of new Re Issued passport, hence any approvals taken on last passport as a supporting document(in case of CAQ) will stand valid.

For more info how to reIssue, please check the below link-->
"Validity expired within 3 years/ Due to expire."
