Hello,
I'm in the process of applying visitor extension online (I come from a country that does not need a TRV)

Now I'm confused about the section of "providing passport pages & any visa".
I've been using my new passport for enter Canada; however, my valid US visa is on the old (expired) passport. Also, I used to be on working permit, which was applied by using the old passport (I had used the old passport to enter & leave Canada quite a few times too).

Should I include the old passport stamps pages as well ?

Old & New passport are of different passport numbers.

Thanks

The instruction is clear on this one: " If you apply online, you must provide a clear, legible copy of your valid passport or travel document. Include a copy of the page that shows your birth date, country of origin, etc.; and any pages with stamps, visas or markings. "

So there you can see that they are only interested in your valid passport, that is the one you are using for travelling (just one) any other visas, documents, in any other passports (even if valid, but not used for travelling) are of no interest at this moment.

That makes sense. Thanks a lot.

And do you think I could use my husband's bank statement ( instead of mine), as proof of fund ?
The rationale here is "husband supports my stay during the visit period"

It depends on how you applied the first time. Each time "situations change" there are other things implied.

As a rule of thumb if it is not your money then you need to demonstrate you are a dependant. If your first TRV was given as a dependent that is OK, if not then a refusal can happen if you can't prove you are his dependant.
