I will assume you mean you got the letter for your Study Permit? Study permit and visa are 2 different things. Do you have a TRV that will allow you to enter Canada now, if not you have to wait for the Passport Request letter before submitting your passport if you are from a visa required country as opposed to an eTa country.

What happens if the TRV that is present allows for only 6 months stay like a WX-1 or V-1 ?

The question is who said to you that it's okay to submit passport for stamping with POE....I don't think that's possible tbh.....they might return ur passport without stamping.....VFS clearly states that u need a PPR to get stamping.

Yea. The letter clearly mentioned ( Your application to study in Canada has been initially approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. The final decision to issue you a study permit and allow you to enter Canada is made after an examination by an officer in Canada. At that time, an officer will assess if you still meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, its Regulations and any other Canadian legislation.)

They asked me to come along with my PPR. Haven’t received any mail or update on PPR from IRCC. Have you also received POE before PPR? And whn did you received it.
