Look up the processing times for Paris.
And no, there's no issue with the travel date. You will either get the visa or not. If you get it, it will (usually) be valid from the date it was issued till the date of the expiry of your passport or 10 years, whichever comes first.
You can always travel later. It's not recommended to buy non-refundable tickets before you have an approved visa.

Don't double post. Your questions were answered here:

Not true. It would incorrectly seem like most applicants are granted long validity TRVs
TRV validity depends on the assessment made by the visa officer. And, if someone has no reason to return to Canada in the foreseeable future, s/he could be granted a short validity TRV (even as short as few days)
True, but isn't IRCC making the multi-entry visa the default and the single entry/short duration visa the exception? Of course the officer can issue a shorter duration/single entry if they feel something warrants the exception.

If an officer chooses to issue a single-entry visa, the reasons are to be entered in the case notes. Officers are to take note that the issuance of a multiple-entry visa should now be considered the standard and any single-entry visa issuance requires an explanation.
Not true again.
A Multiple Entry Visa (MEV) is NOT the same as a long validity TRV. Two different terms.... two different things.
A MEV only allows someone to enter multiple times.... it does not imply that a TRV will be issued until passport expiry in most cases. We have seen short TRV validity issued to applicants who have strong profiles
Ok, I was just quoting from the IRCC Op. Guidelines.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) continues to promote the issuance of long-term multiple-entry visas to facilitate entry into Canada for legitimate travellers.

Despite this guidance, you're still seeing lots of short duration and/or single entry visas being granted? That's good to know. I will keep that in mind for the next time I see such a question.
Thanks.
Yes. Applicants are routinely issued short validity TRVs (i.e. not as long as their passport expiry). It's totally up to the visa officer.
Most people incorrectly assume that the TRV validity will be for 10 years (similar to US B1/B2 visas)
