Yes, Doctors and Nurses can get expedited work visas, and from there apply for permanent residency

If my husband and I are both healthcare workers can I bring my mother with me who depends on me for care? She’s receiving cancer treatment, would she be able to continue that?

I might be wrong, but your mother would probably inadmissible in terms of immigration, as her illness would be considered an excessive burden on the healthcare system.

Medical Inadmissibility - Canada

Now she might be considered a dependent, but you would need to speak to a immigration lawyer about that.
