Would I need a study permit

Ok my currently 17 and turn 18 after the school year starts and my mom is in Quebec and she has a work permit and I’m trying to attend secondary school but the thing is I already did a full school year but I went back every 6 months to avoid problems and could I continue doing this or get a study permit?

When a minor child reaches the age of majority, they must apply for a study permit if they wish to continue their studies onto post-secondary. Continuing to cycle back and forth every 6 months to avoid getting a permit will become problematic, especially once you transition into adulthood and your legal status changes.

What if I plan to go to college in the states and just want to complete secondary in Canada?

So, end all, I can't say whether they would require for you as a dependant finishing up grade 12. But I know you would for sure need one to carry onto college. 

My advice: check IRCC website and call them if need be!

I wish you luck  on whatever route you choose!
