Temporary visa is not on passport - Express Entry

[herohiralal]

Hey Guys,

I am an Indian living in Germany for the last 5 years. During this period, once I had to get a visa extension of 3 months in Germany. However, at that time the officer granted me the visa on a separate sheet, instead of on passport. When I visited the office at the end of 3 months, the officer took back the visa extension (which was on a separate sheet) and granted me another visa on the passport.

Thus, my visa history on the passport looks something like this:
Jan 1, 2015 - June 1, 2015 (On Passport)
----- June 2, 2015 - Sep 2, 2015 (it was on a sheet - NOT ON PASSPORT) ----
Sep 3, 2015 - Continue (On passport)

Unfortunately, I do not have any copy of that visa extension. In the section where we add all the visa stamps, would this missing information on my passport add confusion to the Canadian officer?

Would that be an issue? Should I inform the Canadian authority regarding this? Most of all, I am unsure - what should I inform?

Please guide me.

Where is that section? I don't remember any section where you need to show visa stamps. What are you talking about?

which says, "If you have a passport, you must provide a copy of any pages with stamp, visas or markings"

OR, the response from another guy (regarding where this section is): https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...include-visas-and-stamps.409029/#post-5121197

On the same thread someone has shared this link from IRCC which says only Bio page is needed. I had submitted only the bio page of passport as that was the instruction on the tool tip when submitting documents.

Hi, Since the requirement for documents clearly state that you need to submit your passport with bio pages and any stamps/markings. You simply do that. Your application is evaluated by trained immigration officers who understand these technicalities. For example my own trip to HongKong was never stamped on my passport but a separate paper slip was handed to me at the time of entry and removed when i was leaving. In case you feel like you can add a small heading about it in your LOE when you submit your final application after ITA. But I do not feel it is strictly necessary. Incase they have a query they will ask you for explaination.
