2. If no for above question, is there any other option for multiple entries ?

1. It's up to the IRCC officer who processes your application whether you are granted a multiple entry or single entry visa. Most of the time a multiple entry visa is granted.
2. See above.
3. Approximately 170 days at this time.

Are you aware of the current travel restrictions? If you are travelling to see a friend you won’t be able to travel at the moment.
