1) No - you don't need a lawyer. No - it doesn't iincrease the chances of approval.
2) If you wait until after her stay expires, she will be out of status in Canada and it will be more difficult and more expensive to restore and extend her status.
3) There is no fixed number of times. It's entirely up to IRCC.

Not sure of your mother’s story but if she was able to get a visa to enter Canada she must have had strong ties to her home country. Filing H&C for parents does not always work out well as you can see from this decision.

Hi! Yes, definitely. All the letters you can gather from them would help big time proving you’re contributing to the society here in Canada.

Hi thanks for your reply

What should be the wording or format of the reference letter and who should sign the letter ?

Please let me know

Thanks

What is primarily important is to show proof of employment and prove that you are not using social services and continue to remain employed.

You should review the ruling in the post above. You need to show some relevance for your application to be successful.

Thanks for your reply

But my case is different

I am 69 years old and my son is a permanent resident of canada and lives here with his wife and three children. His children are 11 years old and two 6 months old. My son has a severe medical condition and needs my help with his medication and his specialist doctor has given a letter to us supporting our application.

I have a pension from my home country which I get into my bank account every month and withdraw here in canada because I have an international bank card. I have other savings as well to prove that I can support myself and my wife in canada without taking any social assistance and welfare. My wife is helping his newly born children.

Please let me know how can we improve our chances of approval

Thanks

This is an entirely different situation than the best interest of a child. Why can’t you remain on a supervisa and apply and apply for PGP like other parents.

How does your son need help with his medication? Most can be left in dosettes or prepacked by time of day by the pharmacy. His wife could also arrange his medication. What exactly are you doing medically for your son? You are taking a lot of risk by applying for H&C. If denied you will have difficulty ever visiting Canada again.

What should the friends and church write in their reference letters ?

Hi

Thanks for your reply. My son has a disability and persons with disability designation from the ministry. He doesn't have income which is required for me to get super visa and he doesn't have income to sponsor me either. His medical condition is severe and he needs my assistance which the doctor is suggesting and approving.
