Temporary Resident Visa duration of stay?

[smart_1985]

Hi guys
I'm new here and I like this forum. It can be very useful

I was going to apply for temporary resident visa to Canada to take an exam there. Actually my exam is just for couple of days so I wanted to know if this will make them give me a visa with a short duration like a month or less ?? or is it all fixed durations for the temporary resident visas??
I hope i can get an answer soon coz i really wanna stay there beyond my exam and may be apply for a work permit if i get a job offer.

Thank you

mostly 6 months!!! the officer at port may decide the lenght of stay. yes you can apply work permit if u have positive LMO.plz see the process and time of getting lmo.
