In the CIC citizen online application -> Physical presence section, there is question that:

During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status before becoming a permanent resident?

And yes, I was holding a visitor visa (Temporary resident status) before becoming a PR.

Date you received the status: February XX, 2019
Date your status expired: January XX, 2021 (date before becoming PR)

However, between February XX, 2019 and January XX, 2021, I applied extended stay in Canada by applying a visitor record (my visitor visa only allows me to stay in Canada for 6 months in a row).

There is a question in the CIC website:

Did you apply to extend your status?

Should I answer yes or no for this question? Is extending stay in Canada (applying visitor record so that I can stay longer than 6 months) the same as extend status as visitor?

Thanks!

Does this question is in online tracker or where is that question?

Yes you have to answer yes to that question. When you answer Yes what does it ask ?

When I answer yes, it asked me to input the expiry date of my extended visitor record. However, the visitor record expires on 2020-Sep which is before my visitor visa expiry date.

And the website will display error:

Date must be after your status expired.
