Is it mandatory to travel to Canada on the exact time specified in the visa?

I'm awaiting my Canadian visitor visa. I requested it to be from 5th of June to 7th of July, but the ticket got very expensive for those dates, therefore I might need to go a bit later (Jun 12 to Jul 10).

Will this cause a problem for me? Must the visa start being used on the 5th or this little difference doesn't cause a problem?

As long as it is before the expiry date of the TRV you should not worry.

Not a problem at all. My aunt applied for her visa October 2014 then travelled to Canada September 2015. the date we put on the application is from October 2014 to April 2015 (6 months...) But it really doesn't matter as the Visa officer will give a Multiple entry visa valid upto the validity of your passport.
