“because entering Canada with no money and no way to stay with family is crazy”
Is that a question or a statement ? You could potentially end up on the streets .
If you were approved for a visa one supposedly has to show they could afford to visit here, hence why would you have no money ?
If you’re expecting to be given the white gloved treatment, then probably look at other countries
Are you from Mexico? If so you should know approval rates are fairly low and you would be expected to show that you could not live anywhere in your country without escaping persecution/harm. As a single parent it will be incredibly hard to survive in Canada and start again. How old are your children and does the father have any form of custody/visitation with the child? Also Canada is not 100% safe.

You have to prove there is no safe location in your home country where you can live. You also need to show permission from the mother for your children to travel or proof that you have full legal custody. As previously noted getting asylum from a country where you can travel with just an ETA is typically very difficult. If not Canada would not allow you to travel with just an ETA. Would suggest you speak to a Canadian immigration lawyer about your chances of getting asylum before traveling. The asylum process is very difficult especially if you have no personal funds. The asylum system is very overwhelmed and affordable housing is very difficult to find. Even if you get a work permit it will be very difficult to support your family on one income especially if a low wage profession.
