If a friend wants to visit Canada from Russia, would it increase the likelihood that my friend’s visitor visa application (by invitation) would be approved, if my friend first got a Schengen visa?

I don't know that just getting a Schengen visa would be all that much help. Getting and using (complying with all of the rules and returning home) would probably have a greater positive impact.

Being granted a visa to (and particularly traveling to and returning timely from) western affluent countries is a positive event on ones immigration history. Of course getting denied is also a possibility, and that is a negative.

If your friend has a job in Russia, probably he should not have problem. [Russia is much more expensive then Canada]. If she is a girl, check out Russia embassy website (of your country) and read about the girlfriend scam.

@GiacomoCatenazzi "much more expensive"? How so? Even Moscow looks cheap (-30 to 40%) compared to Toronto and most of Russia is much poorer. Of course local purchasing power is similarly lower. It's definitely not a third world country, if that's your point.
