How long are you going to stay in Canada on that migration visa after the ILR is granted?

You will need to submit your passport with your ILR application. The HO are unlikely to be sympathetic or flexible as you are applying for permanent residence in the UK with obviously no intention of remaining here. :|
By 'migrant' visa, I assume you mean to are planning to emigrate to Canada? You should be aware that in any event, ILR is revoked after 2 years absence and brief visits back to the UK won't stop the 2 year clock.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
