Child's passport expires within 6 months of travel: renew before flying, carry both

Chances are less that cbsa will question only 6 months but if they do then you can explain that it matches with passport expiry, but as a precaution you can renew your passport (if still in india) and travel with both and then can get the extension once here..
Even before landing in Canada. I think your child doesn't even have a chance to board a plane with a passport with less than 6 months expiry. They will stop you at the airport in your home country.
There will not be any problem as he is on study permit. There might be a problem if he was an adult, on visitor visa with less than 1 mth. But in this case, he is a dependent child with study visa.
I had the same issue, ensure that you carry his new passport. Your son visa will have same expiry as yours. Later you can apply for TRV.
I was in similar situation in April 2021, I have renewed my passport in India and visa extension initiated after landing
Deepak Subedi so u are saying there won’t be any problem , are you sure ?
