Question re: Senior Citizen

[SandyUSA]

If someone had previously been accepted via letter for permanent residence about 30 years ago, can that help them to obtain any kind of status now that they are a senior and planning to move to Canada with their children.

My mom received notices that she could have immigrated about 30 years ago but did not respond or turned it down at that time. Now, I am planning on moving and want her with me. She owns a home, collects social security and would only need medical coverage up there and is willing to pay for it on her own if need be. She would have plenty in the bank after selling her house and her bank account is decent. She would live with us in our home.

Any advise. This seems to be the most difficult aspect of us possibly immigrating.

Thanks for any answers.

1. No, her previous application has no bearing. She would have to qualify to emigrate on her own, She is extremely unlikely to qualify.
2. As parental sponsorship is closed, she would only be able to visit you in Canada, as you are not PRs yet, you won't be able to apply for a Super visitor visa, until you have earned the Low Income Cutoff Figure from Canadian sources.
3. As a visitor she would not be eligible for provincial medical insurance. She would have to buy private coverage.
