The same day, a hand was discovered at a postal facility, in a package addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Mr Lin's torso was found in a suitcase at a rubbish dump outside Magnotta's apartment building in Montreal.
About a week later, the missing foot and hand were received in the post at two schools in Vancouver.
Magnotta was eventually arrested in Berlin after an international manhunt.
In his opening address, prosecutor Louis Bouthillier warned the jury to expect "graphic" and "gruesome" evidence, including the video and photographs of Mr Lin's dismembered body.
"Indignities are then performed on Mr Lin's body," Mr Bouthillier said.
The prosecution's first witness, crime-scene technician Caroline Simoneau, presented the jury with photographs taken in and around Magnotta's apartment in 2012.
The images included one of a torso stuffed inside a suitcase and a portion of a human leg retrieved from a rubbish bag.
The gruesome case shocked Canadians and quickly gained international notoriety. A video appeared online that prosecutors say shows Magnotta stabbing and having sex with the dismembered corpse.
According to the prosecution, Magnotta planned the killing up to six months in advance and laid out those plans in an email to a London journalist who will testify during the trial.
Magnotta then allegedly planned to make a movie of the killing.
The trial is expected to last between six and eight weeks.
