As per ircc website.

Yes. To travel to Canada using a valid visa in an old passport, you need to bring both

• your old passport with the valid visa
  • You may need to explain why your old passport isn’t valid.
• your new valid passport or travel document

Even though you can use a valid visa in an old passport, we recommend that you get a new visa in your valid passport to avoid delays at the border.

all the best to you.
i submitted my passport to VFS today.
my passport validity is Apr 2035, however my biometric validity is Oct 2032. so the visa duration will be based on biometric validity.
