You would need to sponsor your parent through the parent / grandparent sponsorship stream.

Thank you for your reply. I know that but can you also sponsor via the family class because it says in this link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...hip/other-relatives/who-you-can-sponsor.html?

No - you need to go through the parent / grandparent sponsorship program if you wish to sponsor your mother.

Then why it says you can sponsor a single parent in the link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/other-relatives/who-you-can-sponsor.html?

No, you misunderstood.

"Other relatives" described in that webpage does not include your mother. You need to sponsor her through the PGP program.
