My 8-year-old son has been studying in Canada for two years. His study permit recently expired, and we exceeded the 90-day restoration period, so we left Canada and reapplied from abroad.
When the permit was approved, we returned believing it would activate automatically, but later learned it must be issued upon entry. Do we now have to leave and re-enter again to validate it? Is there any alternative solution?
 
You needed to activate at the POE. It is your responsibility as nothing is automatic. You cannot flagpole anymore either. So call IRCC but most likely he will have to leave for several days and return.
