1. How long a TRV is issued is up to the CIC office that processes your application. When you use the TRV to enter Canada, the CBSA officer at the border then decides how long you are allowed in for that specific visit.
2. No - it's illegal to work.
3. Yes - it's possible. To change to a work permit tends to be extremely difficult. You have to start by finding an employer in Canada who is willing to offer you a full time job. That employer then needs to obtain something called an LMIA to be allowed to hire you. This is a very long and expensive process that most employers aren't willing to go through. The first step is for the employer to advertise the job for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the job. The next step is for the employer to submit the LMIA application and hope it's approved. Processing typically takes 2-4 months. If the LMIA is approved (not all are), you can then apply for a closed work permit tied to that specific employer.
