if i were to call my relative in Canada on tourist/visitor visa, then what is the duration of the visa will be?
 
10 year visitor? No.

It depends on what country the person is from. Usually it's 90 days maximum.

That's not true. A visitor visa may be issued up to the validity of the applicant's passport (i.e., up to 10 years for some countries). Of course it will depend on the country of origin etc. Source: IRCC http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2011/2011-07-20.asp

Multiple entry, but not 10 years just in the country not working/studying. Just 6 months at a time.

Ah yes of course, the duration of stay is usually max 6 months for 1 entry. But the visa may be valid for up to 10 years.

@Kryt0n You can get a 10 Years Multiple entry Visa, You can come and go end number of times within those 10 years, however you can not stay beyond 6 months in one visit.
 
My parents got a multiple-entry visitor visa up to the expiration of passport (almost 5 years).
 
You can try for a supervisa if it's your parents or grandparents. They can stay upto 2 years at a time.

Yes, I know but he had worded it that he wanted someone to be a visitor continuously for 10 years. I'm aware if the multiple entry with the 6 month limitations.
