Couldn't Wouldn't Will Not

Hi! For number 1 and 2, my relatives visited me and returned home so I used present and past tense. The situation for 3 4 and 5 is they have never visited Canada. Are numbers 3 and 4 hypotheticals and is there any difference between "wouldn't" and "couldn't"? Number 5 is a statement in the future tense i.e. they will be coming in the future and will not tolerate this cold weather of Canada. Thanks, Fulvio
