Here is the structure of questions tags:

positive main clause → negative question tag
Example:
You are from Canada, aren't you?

negative main clause → positive question tag
Example:
You aren't from Canada, are you?

In the sentence you are referrring to the main clause is negative, that's why the question tag has to be positive:

She's definitely not coming is she?
