Canker sores: Usually takes about 10 -14 days for these to heal. If your dentist has a diode laser they can use it to take the pain away.

Tongue ulcer: It depends on what caused the ulcer. If it is trauma from teeth, it will never heal until the tooth is restored. Many other diseases can cause ulcers, like tb, syphilis, oral cancer, salivary gland tumor, etc. So it is very important to be seen by a clinician as son as possible.
