Married to a Canadian residing in Japan

[Canucklehead]

My wife of 8 years is applying for a Canadian tourist visa. We will attempt a spousal visa later but we need a visa as quick as possible therefore she is applying for a visitor visa for now.

2 Questions:
a) Does being married to a Canadian help her chances of getting a tourist visa (providing all other requirements are met)?

b) Why isn't there a question anywhere that asks "Have you ever visited Canada before*?

Hi
Wouldn't it show good faith that you have been to Canada twice before and both times you left on the dates of your plan ticket. Also, it would show you didn't cause any hick-ups when you were there last time. I think it would show a relationship with the country. That's what I think.
