Is Return Ticket Compulsary in Visitor Visa?

Why do you say that?

It's up to CBSA to determine admissibility and with a visa (or eTA) the airline shouldn't have grounds for refusal because of a one-way ticket.

The traveller will have to convince CBSA that they are able to support themselves (or be supported) while in Canada without working and that they have significant ties to their home country and the funds available to purchase a return ticket.

That being said, it is a much easier with a return (two-way) ticket. Often, too, this can be much cheaper than two one-way ticket, even if you have to pay change fees.
Most airlines will require a return ticket, as the airline is responsible for returning the traveller if they are denied entry.

No, and no.

But: airlines and/or CBSA MIGHT want to see return ticket. Unfortunately hard to say in advance. My belief is that more likely for countries where visas required and where travel is much longer-distance and tickets expensive. Someone from the UK can credibly say they will get a ticket online later cheaper and eg they plan to go to new york to return (or whatever).
