How do I give guest access to someone in a Canvas course?

Hello @KentKersey1  - the first thought that comes to mind is to look into using an account and the Observer course role. For example:

What is the Observer role?  https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Observer-role/ta-p/4     

Also, I am assuming you are using Canvas at a school or university and do not have the ability to create a user account. So it would be best to check with your IT Dept. on how they would like to address this as they would need to create the account. They may have a policy and process for this request.
