Applying for visitor visa to maintain status while waiting for PR

On form IMM 5708, under DETAILS OF VISIT TO CANADA, it asks for reason and I chose "Other" and put "staying with spouse while filing for spousal sponsorship PR."
It also asks how long I plan to stay. Am I likely to have my application rejected if I request a year? Would putting 6 months increase my likelihood for acceptance?
Of course, I'd like to stay until my PR status is approved, and it could be up to a year, but I'll leave if I have to!

Oh yeah, and possibly pertinent info: I'm a US citizen in Canada on a temporary work permit that expires in May. My wife is a Canadian citizen.

Thanks!
