Ok I'll explain the confusion since it's out there now. We're keeping our immigration goals private just for identification purposes. I didn't want potential family members (who browse Reddit a lot) to catch wind given the details are very specific and it'll stir up some interesting discussions to say the least. The chances of them finding the post to begin with are slim, but as I mentioned, we wanted to keep it private. The details on this post are 100% accurate since I doubt anyone of them would be checking visajourney. I hope this clears the confusion. @manyfudge @Mike E. Yes, https://ca.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/citizenship-claims/ -- Evidence of U.S. Citizenship of Parent(s). U.S. passport, Certificate of Citizenship or Naturalization, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a U.S. birth certificate bearing the impression seal of the vital records office that issued it and including the date of filing. As manyfudge mentioned, I'll make a copy of her passport and explain to the officer that she is in today to renew her passport. If needed, I'll see if we can pull her in from her appointment to support mine. Regarding joint sponsorship, if I understood correctly we can have my aunt (mom's sister who is living in the US) and my mom file that together.

I meant to ask if he can joint sponsor - not the primary sponsor.

So the sponsor we have is my mother's sibling. they live in the US and work there. They have a high income and is single with no dependents. My older brother is a USC through CRBA and would be moving with us. Is he able to sponsor? He has a good income but is living with us in Canada.

Sorry for the delayed response. I think my old account is timed out since I can't reply anymore for some reason. Yes, she will require her passport for her appointment. I was told that you can file I-130 abroad so I really hope that isn't the case that the consulate will deny it. We live in Toronto so we'll be going to the Toronto consulate if that makes any difference. Also, my mom doesn't have a high paying job (about 30-35k -- my dad is the main provider) and there is an income requirement that is part of the I-130 process. We do have our house that is completely paid off and worth about $1M CAD at this point in time. Would that home count as an asset and replace the income? Edit: Just read that we'd have to go to Montreal for immigrant visas.
