You need to apply for a TRV/visitor visa.

It's not advisable to apply before she is issued a study permit nor for the purpose you have mentioned. It might seem like you want to stay with her for the duration of her study program

Ok so i should have her apply for her Study Permit first and then apply for my Visitor's Visa?

That would be the correct route, IMO.

You would also need to demonstrate you have no plans on remaining long-term in Canada + strong ties to your home country/country of residence + previous travel to visa-required countries (US, UK, Schengen, Australia, NZ, etc) would help

Based on my personal experiences, my mother had applied for tourist visa and was approved based on the reason of accompanying me and my brother for school. But this was way back in 2013 so a lot has changed over the years so this reasoning can result in refusals.
