So, I came to Canada in 2014 with a 4 year study permit for my undergraduate program. I was a full time student for first two years and then decided to take year off due to anxiety issues. Now I am back in university and was registered as a full time student last semester (Winter 2018). I also went to my home country after my completing my semester last month (May 2018), and was successfully able to re enter Canada.

Now since I have heard that if some takes a semester off, the university or college informs IRCC about this and they cancel the study permit. If thats the case, I wonder if they have cancel my study permit.

And if they have cancelled my study permit, then how was I able to re enter Canada just last month. The immigration officer just asked basic questions and thats it. He allowed me to enter.

I was also a full time student this very winter and had no issues in my enrollment. And I my study permit was cancelled why was not I inform about this and how was able to enroll in winter term?

Please help, I'd be much grateful for your advice.

It doesn't sound like your study permit has been canceled. Since you were allowed back into Canada, it sounds to me like it's still valid.

However you should assume you won't qualify for a post graduate work permit since your studies weren't continuous (i.e. because you took a break).
