For any visit, do not assume that you will be allowed to stay for 6 months at a stretch. How long you are actually allowed to stay will depend on the immigration officer whom you meet at the POE.

Also, a multiple entry TRV which is valid till 2028 does not mean you can leave your home country and stay continuously in Canada until your TRV expires.... by taking short trips to the US. Sooner or later the officer at the POE could refuse you entry or limit your stay if s/he feels you are abusing visitor privileges
