Corvette or light frigate for Canadian patrols

Which proposed corvette design best suits the Royal Canadian Navy?

The mission likely demands a light frigate rather than a true corvette because Canada needs endurance for long patrols.

The Type 31 is a light frigate rather than a corvette. For Canada, endurance and patrol duration matter more than the label, so a larger light frigate may fit the mission better than a smaller corvette even if either can carry useful weapons. British or Scandinavian designs appear more plausible, with Finland's next frigate worth examining before a decision. Patrol geography, accommodation, and time on station can outweigh the attraction of a compact, heavily armed hull.
