Hello everyone, pls advice.

I am student in Canada and my student visa in in passport A, and passport has not yet expired (still 3 years to go). I have no more empty pages in that passport, so when I went back home in winter, got new travel passport B. When I returned I showed passport A with valid visa.

Now in ID sections should I mention both? if everything goes well, I will be sending them my passport B, since passport A has no empty pages for visa.

pls advice :)

I dont understand how you are keeping two passports, Passport A should have been canceled.

My country allowed me to keep it, since there are 2 valid visas in it.

You most definitely need to use passport B.

Valid visas in Passport A don't get cancelled even if you cancel Passport A. You just need to attach both the passports together if you're traveling to a country for which you have a valid visa in Passport A.

In your instance, you need to mention Passport B. Get Passport A cancelled.

Thanks for reply, however my study permit is linked to my old passport. I am thinking to include this two in ID section, and then write in LOE about this. will this suffice?

No need but there's no harm in doing so. But if you mention old passport, then do write an LOE explaining the situation.
