that's a good question. I would like to know the answer myself. I don't think property and proof of funds can make any difference to them.
 
Property does make a difference. Funds don't necessarily show ties with the home country, but it shows that she can support herself.

property is not enough as a proof as many people have their property rented or just left locked in the home country while living in another. property doesn't guaranty that the person comes back. that was I told by the visa officer.
 
When I hear property I think of a house. Obviously owning clothes or furniture or whatever by itself is not very strong proof. While you can rent out a house, it is definitely proof. Will it be accepted by itself? That would depend on the individual visa officer.

Also, remember that everything is on a sliding scale. There is no way to prove with 100% certainty that someone will return, so you have to provide as much evidence as possible that you will return home.

Have you tried sponsoring your Mom? By the very nature of your need, you can try sponsoring her. Would take quite a while but then she can stay in Canada for as long as she maintains her permanent residency.

If sponsorship is out of the question, then showing enough ties- family, other children apart form you, her work or business. But it has to be something on top of what you have submitted before. And applying too soon after a denied application sometimes raises a flag that she's trying too hard.
 
I asked this question too, because my wife-to-be applied for a student visa top study ENglish in Canada for 6 months. She was refused for lack of sufficient evidence she woudl leave Canada at the end of her studies. She had money, lots of family in China, a job offer when she returned, but no house.

I don't know what else besides owning a house she could have offered as ties to China proving her intent to leave Canada and return to China after her studies.

When I asked PMM and IMMOfficer whether having a house would make a difference, one said yes, the other said maybe.

In other words, it seems there is no proof that will satisfy a suspicious Visa Officer.
 
Yes, the visa officers have a lot of discretion, so there is no way anyone call really tell what will make you or anyone else get approved or not. :(

are you sure that she can stay in Canada on extensions for up to 4 years?

I doubt that extensions of up to 4 years have been allowed before. Maybe. I was suggesting that the OP sponsor his/her mom because once mom's permanent residency is approved then mom can stay in Canada for as long as mom maintains her permanent residency.
 
yes, as soon as she gets her PR she can stay non-stop, but the main problem is how to keep her staying in Canada while the sponsorship is in process.

You may not be able to get a continuous extension of two or three years but may be able to work out two one year extensions or two 6 month extensions and then a year. You can try for 6 months first and then another. You may not get a positive result but then if you did not apply you'll never know if you may have gotten a positive one. It is always a 50-50 chance and as I always say it can turn out to be positive. We pay for the extensions but it may well have been money well spent. BTW have you submitted your application for your mom to bring your kids? All the best.
 
thank you for your reply, job_seeker. no, we haven't applied for her TRV yet, we are planning to do it closer to spring.

just one more question - will it be difficult to apply for a multiple entry visa in Buffalo, after a few extensions made in Canada?
thank you in advance.
