Hmmm...... Ok, trying that on my test image....

You can see the extent of the canvas if you zoom to 100%. If you want a *white box* representing the size of the canvas then create a new layer. You want the *white box* as the background layer so you have to make it the lowest layer otherwise it will cover other layers. Or if the white box is a layer and it doesn't fill the canvas then you can scale the *white box* layer to the size of the canvas.

Actually all zoom levels let you see the extent of the canvas. For a view without having to scroll select zoom levels less than 100%, depends on size of canvas.
