I called the IRCC. They say my visa should be still valid. It was suppose to expire in July. My old passport is expiring in July and my new study permit also expires the same date.
Leaving and re-entering Canada while on Implied Status study permit

- Start date
Can they explain why you were denied boarding then? Sadly also don’t trust the customer service line of IRCC so would either get this is writing or maybe follow-up with the consulate/embassy in India. Many tickets are non-refundable these days so would want to make sure you don’t get denied boarding again.
IRCC customer service line is sadly not reliable. I would try a second source of information or get something in writing. Contacting your MP may also be another option.
Another suggestion is to try CBSA, but I do not know if they will share this info.
Best do a foia
Freedom of information act request

It’ll pull any information except that being highly sensitive
When I worked for the Government it was drilled into our heads that ANYTHING we wrote on our clients account could be obtained by the client
So if it went to court , you didn’t want it too say “ Client was an absolute moron “
As an example
I'm sure this is all true, but the context in which I was suggesting was simply call CBSA and ask (I have/had a TRV which is still valid by date but was denied boarding while I had a study permit in process - now that study permit has been approved, will I be able to board?) - on the outside chance that you'd get someone who would actually check and see/get confirmation.
Failing that, I think only way forward is to apply for a new TRV. (Complication being there that IRCC might say 'but you have a TRV').
Definitely an ATIP in due course won't hurt, but in the immediate, won't help much.
