Can I apply Inland PR for mom (on visitor visa)

This program is not open at this time. You cannot submit an application right now. In order to sponsor your mother for PR, you must first be selected through the parent / grandparent sponsorship lottery. You must also meet minimum income requirements in order to qualify to sponsor your mother for PR. Applications for parent / grandparent sponsorship are not being accepted at this time. We do not know when the lottery will open this year yet. You can read more information about this process here (including what documents are required, as well as the minimum income requirements) and then look for announcements from IRCC for when the lottery will open: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/sponsor-parents-grandparents.html
Another option would be for your mother to apply for PR on her own through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry or PNP if she meets the requirements and has sufficient points.
Would add that demand for spots far exceeds the number of spots available so it is not unusual for it to take a long time to sponsor a parent and parent sponsorship is never guaranteed. If your mother wants to visit Canada for a longer period of time I would look into a supervisa.
