The link I provided above states that a permit (due to covid) is now required. If your friend is in Canada then no study permit required.

yes you are right

it states

If you want to study for 6 months or less
Due to COVID-19, if you want to study in Canada for 6 months or less, you’re now required to

• get a study permit and
• attend a DLI with a COVID-19 readiness plan approved by its province or territory

You won’t be able to travel to Canada if you don’t have a study permit and your DLI isn’t on the approved list

So for studies less than 6 months study permit is required.

Ok it is clear now.
