Then I go to menu
Image--->Canvas size
and enter a new canvas size and "fill with"=White
resize Layers=None
The canvas size is applied BUT the new background area is still shown as transparent checkerboard.
Why? I want to see pure white color.
It looks like it is a bug in the Windows version (ok in my usual linux). A jpeg does not have an alpha channel and unless you add one after the jpeg is open should render using the background colour. Obviously not working.
What you can do is once resized, go to Layer -> Layer to Image Size and that should fix it.

When I go to menu
Image--->Canvas size
again the initial Canvas size shows again the dimensions of the current picture.
How can I tell Gimp to remember my previously entered target Canvas Size (even beyond exit and restart of Gimp)?
This will require a change in workflow. Leave the resized image open.
You already have an image open. File -> New will use a canvas size the same as that previous image. Then add your jpeg File -> Open as Layers followed by Layer -> Merge Down.
A quick demo of those two actions. https://i.imgur.com/iSgw9Ix.mp4
