Can I send a different passport than I applied for the Canadian visa with?

I'm not sure about Canada, but in the UK, any visas issued will not expire with the passport. The traveller is quite able to renew their passport, but present both passports when entering the country.

The current (new) passport will establish nationality and identity, and the old (expired) passport will contain the still-valid visa.

So providing Canada's system works in a similar manner, you should just ask for the visa to be issued in your current passport - but then when it expires and you get a new one, make sure you keep the old one with the visa.
