Best Answer
Canada requires that your passport be valid for the period authorized for your stay. Canada does not have a "six month rule" for passport validity (or three months or any number of months) as some other countries do.
Because of this regulation, Canada Border Services Agency officers will generally give you a six month entry, or entry until the date of expiration of your passport, whichever is shorter.
You will have no problem with the period of stay, because you will depart before your passport expires.
