I would strongly recommend to go forward with student visa. Refugee status has many disadv. I had student visa but my situation changed radically within Canada. All my evidence was from Canada. Everyone has own story, but I would think many times before go forward with refugee application
When you apply with SP, there isn't disadvantage or advantage during asylum process, nor it won't affect eligibility or processing time. As we do not know your specific situation, general advice would be to continue with your studies if you can and go through that route toward your residence. However, if situation amount to protection and asylum then you can go ahead. I want to think that your reason for asylum is not because of violations of your SP condition but it because of the persecution you are facing home if you return
If you apply for asylum, then you have to wait for the eligibility interview before you can get your study permit. The waiting time for eligibility interview is always a myth. If you apply study permit as a visitor, it also has the possibility that you have to wait for a long time.
The thing is you have to have a strong reason that you can't go back to your home country if you seeking asylum protection

That's true. I really hope he has one. Because I don't have one and I have been waiting for study and work permit for a long time and still waiting.
