Visit visa duration

[zarakhan92]

While applying for visitor visa (choosing the less than 6 months) I initially say 3-4 weeks stay. So will I get a visa for just those 3-4 weeks or 6 months. Also can I stay longer than intended but less than 6 months?

It is always up to CBSA when you arrive. You can be given a specific amount of time to remain or be allowed to stay up to 6 months. There seems to be more to the story than just a friend visiting Canada.
