Unfortunately I don't think there is any chance your grandmother will be approved for a super visa. To be approved, a person must demonstrate that have ties to their home country and won't overstay their allowed visit to Canada. Your grandmother won't be able to meet this requirement given how long she has been without status in the US. I supposed you can try - but I think a refusal is guaranteed.

The minimum income thresholds are below. If you have a wife but no children, you will have to meet the income for three people.

Also, you should be aware that as soon as your grandmother leaves the US - she will be automatically banned from re-entering for 10 years. I don't know if this matters to her - but I thought I would mention it.

if ur grandmother is illegal in US...it is going to change pretty soon...US immigration reform is gonna happen soon and she should be eligible for getting a status as long as she doesn't have criminal record there.... as she has been living there before December 2011. Just wait it out a little and you should be able to sponsor her.
