My friend that i have known for 9 years over stayed his visit in canada but got married before leaving to his country, the marriage failed and both went their separate ways. Now that 7 years have gone by he wants to visit Canada again but the lady that he got married to is no where to be found, can I as a friend invite him to canada for a short stay?
You can invite him. Whether or not IRCC will accept his visa application depends upon a couple of things:
can a visitor still be able to bring 5,000 dollars with them to Canada or 10,000 on the visitor visa can you tell me
You can bring up to CAD$10,000 into Canada without declaring it or paying duty.
I am a Canadian born citizen and I have a girlfriend from the country Russia. She is also capable of obtaining a Georgian passport through her father. I am wondering if I have any possibilities of having her come to Canada and be allowed to work? I do not see Russia or Georgia on the list of countries that Canada gives out a working holiday visa. Any tips, advice or websites would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, she is not normally eligible for a working holiday visa. There are “recognized organizations” that she could apply to:

Does a woman from Malaysia be able to get a vistor’s visa to meet up with a Canadian to get married to him whom she met online never having met him in person?
Probably not. If you state the purpose of your visa application is to come to Canada to get married, it will be refused.
I am an international student studying in Canada for undergraduate studies, my boyfriend is an international student studying in the UK. I wanted to know, if I will need to provide proof of my financial support in order to write a letter of invitation for him, or if the visa process will need proof of my financial support.
One of you has to. Either you have to pledge to support him while he’s here in the invitation letter or he has to show he can afford the trip by providing proof of funds.
i am religious worker i have multiple visa till march 2017 and work permit april 30 2017 now i came through work permit but i didn.t work on work permit what should do apply for change condition or i can live in canada through multiple visa when work permit deadline.
We’re not actually sure if there is a legal requirement to work on your work permit once you have been admitted. This is a question for a lawyer. Of course, there would be risk that you would not be granted an extension or a new work permit in the future if the government discovered you were not working. If you want to change your status to visitor, you can apply to do so. If this is the case, you want this form: Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor or Temporary Resident Permit Holder If you were asking about becoming a permanent resident, the fact that you have not been working is a big problem.

You can invite him. Whether or not IRCC will accept his visa application depends upon a couple of things:
- Did IRCC know he overstayed before? If so, did they give him a departure order or a travel ban or equivalent?
- After he was married, was he sponsored for permanent residence?
