Basically, if your study permit is expired, then you are not allow to stay in Canada anymore....
The only way that you can stay even your study permit expired is if you waiting for the renewal process of your study permit,

Please check this link https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=475
and its written ;
"
If your study permit has already expired
If you applied to extend your study permit before it expired, but haven’t received a decision on your application, you’re allowed to stay in Canada because you’ve maintained your status. This means you’re a temporary resident until we decide on your application. You can keep studying until you get a decision on your application.

If you haven’t applied to extend your study permit, you lost your status in Canada. You can’t continue or restart your studies until we’ve restored your status and issued a new study permit. You have 90 days to apply to restore your status and extend your permit. There’s a CAN$200 fee to restore your status, as well as a CAN$150 fee for the new study permit. Find out what to do if your study permit has expired and you haven’t applied to extend it.

Good luck.,

I am not yet in Canada I just got my passport stamped,but the problem that my visa validity end 2 months before my program starts(August 2023)although my passport expires October 2024.
My question is that is it a mistake or do I enter 2months before the visa expires
