Study permit at transit or final destination airport

[omarawad]

I'm an international student coming for the first time to study in Canada. My first landing in Canada is in Montreal airport (transit) and final destination is Toronto Pearson. Where would I get my study permit ?

In case it's issued in Montreal, How it takes on avergae to issue the permit ? (my transit time is only 1:20hr, so I am afraid I may miss my connection flight to Toronto.

Thanks!

You won’t encounter immigration directly in Toronto, as it would be a domestic flight. And 11/2 hours is probably cutting it close.

If anybody has past experience with missing a flight in such way, will the airlines (AirCanada in my case) book him another flight at no additional costs ? or it will be his fault ?

It depends. If you booked your entire travel on a single ticket - normally they'll just put you on the next flight for no cost. If you booked the Montreal - Toronto flight separately, then it's hard to say and you may be charged a fee if you miss the flight.
