Your girlfriend can be denied if CIC feels she does not have the funds to support herself while she is here and/or if they feel she has plans to remain in Canada long-term. Since you are on ODSP, it would probably be best if your girlfriend can show that she has the funds herself to pay for her trip and support herself while she is here. She should also show proof that she has ties to her home country and plans to return there after her trip (e.g. proof of employment, proof of property ownership, etc.).
