Can my Mother become an immigrant in Canada? I heard rumors that parents could not be petitioned anymore which is a really great source of
grief. Please advise.

Yes - she can. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/sponsor-parents.asp

Note that only a limited number of applications are accepted each year and the spots are taken extremely quickly (in a day and a half this year). The cap has already been reached for this year so next year is the earliest you would be able to apply. There are also very specific income requirements you have to meet as a sponsor.
