study permit! need answers!

Hello all, 

I would like to explain my situation, 

I am from the Bahamas. I recently lost my passport, which of course had my student permit in it. Now the Bahamas does not have a Canadian embassy, sadly, we use Jamaica as the nearest. I have already attended a University in Canada for a whole year, exiting and entering the country a total of 4 times on my student visa. I am in the midst of applying for a new one and a new passport. My question is, since I cannot seem to contact anyone, from my knowledge I have a 6 month time period of the amount of time I can be in Canada without a visa, or less depending on the immigration officer, correct? Now, I plan on(if I get into Canada) returning home in 4 months before my 6 month period is over, for holiday break, will the immigration officer allow me in, knowing that I am going to attend my school for those 4 months? I am sure immigration has me on file showing that do have a permit that doesn't expire for 2 years. And by the time I return home, I will have my permit back. 

Thanks in advance

	Your status ends when you Study Permit Expires. No grace period.

	If your study permit has expired AND you have not already applied for an extension (before end of your current permit), then your legal status to stay in Canada has also ended. There is NO "extra" grace period. However, you do have 90 days to "restore" your legal status. Many people confuse this as "extra" days allowed after expiry of one's permit. NO. This only means that you are already of illegal status and you have 90 days to "appeal" for a "restoration" of status. You will still have to apply to renew or get a new study permit.
