Hello @canuck78 , @scylla and @Naturgrl . I hope you are doing well.
I want to apply for a visitor visa for my mother (Widow).
Mother's Documents:
1. Mother's Bank Statement - Last six months: Average balance. (~ C$ 10 k)
2. Property Evaluation (Report prepared by CA): ~( C$ 150,000-175,000 )
3. ITR: Filed till 2016 and Housewife from 2016 till present
3. Passport
4. Photo
5. Filled the complete details in the new portal about employment, family details etc.
6. Visit Duration: One Month
7. Spouse's Death Certificate (June 2002)

Inviter documents:
1. Bank Statements Last 6 months. ( ~$15k).
2. Tax return: Last 3 yrs, 2019,2020,2021
3. Letter of Employment and paystubs
4. Invitation Letter
5. Status documents (WP)
6. Relation Proof ( Passport and Birth Certificate)
7. Place of Stay: Rent Agreement.

Questions:
1. Do I need any additional documents and proofs to satisfy the officer? or anything in common to be aware of so that It gets approved in the first place?
2. Should I mention that I will be covering her expenses or not in the letter of invitation?
3. If I should apply using the old or new portal system?
Thanks a lot in advance for your time and attention.

Does she have a travel history? How long does she intend to put up with you? Are there any close family members in her homeland?
