First, you can't invite them. Refugee claimants have no legal status until their claims are finalize. They can visit you. However, they'll need a visa or eTA if they're coming from a country that is visa exempt. BUT, they'll need to convince Visa Officer, that their main purpose is to visit and will leave Canada at the end of the authorized stay and not coming to make a claim like you. Which, is very difficult. As their application may or shouldn't contradict your basic of claim.

Short Answer: No.

But she can apply for a visitor Visa as you never know, chances are still zero. Sorry.

Well, until your claim is finalized, you do have a legal status to be in the country. You becoming out of status is depend on the outcome of your hearing, god forbid, yours will be approved.

You might be able to expedite your hearing date, by talking to your lawyer, if you are not mentally stable due to being far away from the family. There are some exceptions as such, talk to your lawyer.

Extremely unlikely. There will be concern that she will file for asylum as well.

A lawyer is unable to guarantee a hearing date or timeline. A large percentage get a hearing before 2 years but some wait longer.
