She will need a visitor visa to come to Canada.

Then, once she has arrived, you can make the application, which if successful will take about 14 months.

If you want to know her chances of being given a visitor visa, just search the forum. All the answers are here.

I don't know if you are looking for English, or Tag based threads, but this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/manila-tread-for-english-speakers-join-here-t123646.0.html is full of lots of info, and knowledge.

Save your money and don't bother with that. IF you REALLY must try, then apply online . . . that way you can see your refusal letter in less than 8 hours.

Spouse applying for a visitor's visa has a 99% chance of denial. It would be better to sponsor her from outside Canada.

I know some of my friends who got married and sponsored their spouses from the Philippines. Processing for visitors visa for her to come is a waste of time. Might as well sponsor her through spousal visa. Processing is only less than a year. That would really saves you time and money.
