If your study permit was issued for less than the amount of time you will take to complete your exchange/study abroad, you must extend it before it expires.  It is your responsibility to ensure that your documents (study permit and passport) remain valid during your studies in Canada, so make sure to keep track of all expiry dates to maintain your immigration status.
