Hi guys I am helping my friend apply for a visa to come to canada. She is currently still in high school so I will be footing all expenses ticket, living,entertainment etc.

Would she require a letter from her high school proving she is in school?

What other documents can help her application

Immigration usually don't like people saying their host will bear all expenses and they likely want to see applicant's own finances. Ask your friend to travel with mom and pa instead and have her parents provide the supporting document when they apply.

The thing is her mom is hearing impaired and unemployed. Her sister is the one that mainly assist her . She basically has a sort of tuff life in her country. She did very well in school that's why I wanted to give her a vacation.

She will need to demonstrate strong ties to her home country to be approved. If you are funding the whole trip (vs. her parents), this will most likely reduce the chances of approval. However you can certainly try. I would recommend that you keep her trip relatively shortly (2-3 weeks).

Note that Canada has travel restrictions in place at this time until June 30th. Make sure her planned travel is after this date since the travel ban applies to her and she won't be able to come here during COVID.

Thanks , but as a child /student she doesn't have much ties. Sigh
Agreed. This is why it's best if the parents fund the trip.

If that's not possible, then you'll just have to apply and hope for the best.
