Canada allows foreign students to travel freely outside of Canada during the validity period of study permit

[{"selector":"#anim-bbf2885b-c372-45b1-8035-a170b85de572 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-16.847879760257285%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6bab2e9-97f4-4504-89c5-0b038d6a82da","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40aaedbb-2171-41ad-afaf-8e86e40e2afd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Students can travel outside Canada and re-enter if they have valid study permit

[{"selector":"#anim-0aab4e60-f178-4fc3-a7cd-6a527b5d9d38 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab0e64da-541b-4468-84ee-b4598de382f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45369307-6b92-473a-a299-45fe56f480fa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-126.2963%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They should be attending a DLI (Designated Learning Institutions) and meet all the other requirements of Canada

You should keep in mind that study permit is not itself a travel document
