You can write a letter of invitation, but she will still have to qualify. That usually means she would need to own a house, have a good job, and have money in the bank.

Honestly, I don't think she has much of a chance if she doesn't own a house, have a job, etc.

It doesn't matter that you offer to cover her expenses. If they allowed everyone to do that, then Canadians would be hiring housekeepers from overseas and automatically getting them visas.
