TLDR : Answer Summary
To bring your Thai girlfriend to visit Canada, she will typically need to apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). It's crucial for her to demonstrate strong ties to Thailand such as stable employment, family obligations, or property ownership to prove she will return after her visit. In certain cases, if she has previously held a Canadian or U.S. visa, she might qualify for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). Additional supporting documents like a letter of support from you, proof of financial means, and travel insurance may also be necessary. Being aware of the specific criteria and gathering the required documentation can enhance her chances of a successful visa application.
Assuming you are a Canadian Citizen, which might have an influence depending on a few details I will discuss down below.
Normally a TRV = Temporary Resident Visa, which is the Only option for a Tourist wanting to enter Canada in your case, is normally automatically granted a 6-month stay. Having said this, on special occasions, a Border Patrol Officer can Limit your stay with a Visitor Record where the Officer will Stamp her Passport with a Date when your Gf must Exit the country, but thankfully that rarely happens.
FIRST, every Applicant gets Evaluated and Approved on their own Merits, so the first things Immigration Officers look at are for your Gf to show:
#1- Ties to her country like a Property, a House, Land or a Business
#2- A good long-term job ( = more than 2 years) with above average paying job ( Minimum 35,000 Bahts per month and up)
#3- Travel history to Developed countries similar to Canadian Standard 😊 G20 countries )
#4 – If she travelled, did she respect the Visa obligations and was Not late to Exit the country
THEN, if you have a Common Law relationship of more than 2 years with a Property, a House, Land or a Business TOGETHER, Life Insurance with your GF as Beneficiary and vice versa as well as a Joint bank Account, then the Immigration Officer while taking this into consideration as a Joint Application which would help your Gf application a bit.
Keep in mind the Main focus of an Immigration Officer is to evaluate the Risk of an applicant staying in the country Illegally after the Tourist Visa expires which happens a Lot, so with the above-mentioned information, the main focus is to evaluate the risks of that happening.
Hope this helps and feel free to visit the Visa Canada website for more info.
I will add to my Post, she also needs to demonstrate SELF ACCUMULATED 😊 not put in as one LUMP SUM) capacity to Support Herself with minimum $1000 CAD per month for 6 months = $6000 CAD as well as have Medical Insurance meeting the TRV requirements. There is another option utilized by Ship Captains which put a BOND of $25,000 CAD for each boat staff to go into Canadian port during Ship maintenance, but that takes some Legal Documents with certified Criminal Record check as well as a few more legal Forms not shown on the TRV application website, but we have previously had success with this sort of TRV application in the past.
If she used to have a Canadian visa that was expired no more than 10 years or a valid US visa she can apply for an ETA. Thai passport was just granted an visa exemption this June and can apply for an ETA to Canada but she will need to meet the above requirement.

Bring her in thru the US southern border maybe Biden will pay her way to Canada.
Property , a job and reference from her employers , best a registered company and letterhead , giving her time off work , 100,000 in bank , a letter of support from you , for all costs while in Canada including her medical , legal , transport , accommodation ,
Even Rodtang could not enter Canada for exhibition games.

You must be angry with her to take her there!!!! 🥶💴🥶💴🥶💴
But if you must, as there have said, you will need to demonstrate clear ties to her returning to Thailand on the application. And that you can fully support while in 🇨🇦. Canada loves only workers from ‘poor’ countries. Not so helpful with tourist visits for them. Disappointing
it depends on if the partner owns property and has money, my friends girlfriend has property and a business and money

Not being anything but deliberate. Seems like not the best place to ask about Canadian entry and visa requirements. Thailand itself has nothing to do with it. It appears a Canada Visit Visa is mandatory when planning a trip to Canada.

She needs strong ties to Thailand. Does she have a good job? Children in Thailand? House? Land? Car? Lots of money in the bank? Not sure about Canada but USA is crazy. My wife was denied a tourist visa to visit the USA and we were married over a year living together when we originally applied. I refuse to apply for a green card as we don’t want to live in the USA. So maybe Canada is nicer.
wow another loser did you ever try to run a country my family did and I've tried to help run many countries and being thrown in jail for it and threatened with 10 years when I applied to be Nixon's advisor on youth after they shot the students at Kent State Ohio after that happened that Nixon's advisor on youth resigned resigned I applied for the job is my family made things run properly in Canada and I had worked for my dad and so I was willing to help Nixon Run America but they flipped out when the Secret Service let themselves into my apartment and found marijuana plants growing they said I was Dr Evil then and did not realize marijuana had helped me I was a paraplegic and I helped me to learn to walk again and get over the pain
where did you get such a silly idea from, the majority of Canadians voted for Trudeau, I personally like the man, Canada is regularly voted as the best country in the world to live in
Id much rather live in the USA than Canada 🤷♂️ but I personally moved my family to Thailand because that's a better option than living in either Canada or the US.
Canada is rated top three in the world to live in sometimes they are rated #1. If you want to find the US on those lists I will save you some time. Start at the bottom and work your way up.
Only Canadians could have the 5th highest child suicide rate in the world and pretend everything is okay when their kids are killing themselves more often than children in war zone and famine areas.
