APPLICANT FROM PHILIPPINES WANTS TO APPLY TOURIST VISA. CAN SHE APPLY ONLINE?

[firsttimemom]

I'M PLANNING TO APPLY MY MOM A TOURIST VISA GOING HERE IN CANADA, AS I CAN'T SPONSOR HER YET BECAUSE I'M NOT A PR. I RECENTLY GOT MARRIED AND EXPECTANT MOM NEXT YEAR FEBUARY. I WANT HER TO COME OVER HERE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS TO BE WITH HER GRANDCHILD ESPECIALLY ON THE BAPTISM DAY.

IS IT POSSBLE FOR HER TO APPLY ONLINE?
OR CAN I APPLY HER ONLINE AS HER REPRESENTATIVE?
IS ANYONE OF YOU EXPERIENCE OR TRIED THIS LREADY?
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THE PROCESS? DID SHE NEED A SHOW MONEY?

PLEASE ADVICE.. THANK YOU..
