Yes, you can apply from within Canada to extend your parent's stay in Canada through the Super Visa. You send the application to Vegreville, AB if it is just for the extension of visitor status. However, if your mom plans to leave Canada and then come back, then she would need to have the Super Visa stamped into her passport. In that case, you have to send the application to Buffalo, NY.

She just applied now online for visa extension (from within the Canada), is it same to super visa?
What happened if they did not approve the extension, in this case we can apply for supervise to Vegreville, AB ? or it is same?

I was told by the CIC agent that I could also apply online. However, this would require scanning all the documents, including insurance certificate, insurance policy, etc. I still preferred sending in a paper application even though online application is much faster. Remember that your online application is still submitted to Vegreville, AB. That's what you chose in your online application, right? Best of luck!

An application for a new single- or multi-entry visa must be done from outside Canada at a visa office.

However, parents and grandparents who are in Canada on an authorized stay of up to six months may apply for an extension of their status of up to two years by submitting an application to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta, as long as they meet all the criteria for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa. These applications will be examined on a case-by-case basis.

"If parents and grandparents are already in Canada ...."

Hi! You can wait for visa inside Canada. But definitely you have to prove to an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, stability and also that your mother will leave Canada at the end of her visit;
One of other important conditions to receive a Super Visa is to present proof that she has bought Canadian Medical Insurance Coverage for at least one year.
(It is possible to buy medical Insurance for Super Visa online)
A key requirement for obtaining a Super Visa is proof of private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company.
The coverage must:
• Be valid for a minimum of one year
• Cover health care, hospitalization and repatriation
• Provide a minimum coverage of $100,000
• Be valid for each entry to Canada and available for review by a port of entry officer
