One of the conditions to have a SP is having enough funds. The person quoted "defer admission since I do not have funds for my second semester fees?"
When people apply for any application everything is stored in database and cross checked in BG checks in PR stage.
Also if the person isn't studying then they're violating the conditions.
As a study permit holder, you must:
- be enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI)
- show you’re actively pursuing your studies by:
- being enrolled full-time or part-time during each academic semester (excluding regularly scheduled breaks)
- making progress towards completing your program’s courses, and
Another quote from IRCC:
What happens if you don’t meet your study permit conditions
If we find you haven’t met your study permit conditions, we may ask you to leave Canada. You might also have to wait 6 months before you can apply for a new study permit (or for a visitor visa or work permit in Canada).
Not following your study permit conditions, or working or studying in a way we haven’t authorized, could also negatively affect any future applications you submit.
