Hi,
I graduated with a masters degree from U of A on 06-Sep-17. I received my letter of completion on Sep 15.
As per CIC
Applicants must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation (e.g., an official letter or transcript) from the educational institution indicating that they have met the requirements for completing their program of study. Calculation of the 90 days begins the day the student’s final marks are issued or the day formal written notification of program completion is received, whichever comes first.

From when should I calculate 90 days, from Sep 15 or Sep 06?
I have valid study permit till 2019
As per CIC
A study permit becomes invalid 90 days following the completion of studies unless the foreign national also possess a valid work permit or another authorization to remain in Canada.

Again, how long is it valid? Till Dec 05 or Dec 14
Experts please advise
