You can write a letter of invitation, but she will still have to qualify.  That usually means she would need to own a house, have a good job, and have money in the bank.

thank you for reply.......even if i will be the one to answer for the expenses???even i will show the embassy for my income assesment with my husband???if she don't have a job in the Philippines but owns a land in the Philippines, do you think this is enough???if she will give the embassy a letter that is notarized states that she will come back to the Philippines because her family is there...do you think it can help her in her application for tourist visa???thanks.....

Honestly, I don't think she has much of a chance if she doesn't own a house, have a job, etc.

It doesn't matter that you offer to cover her expenses.  If they allowed everyone to do that, then Canadians would be hiring housekeepers from overseas and automatically getting them visas.
