1.  She may have received citizenship when her mother did, minors were usually included.
2.  If not, she is a permanent resident.  Somewhere she should have an IMM 1000 from one she first entered.
3.  She can get a copy of it via the following : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/search-how.asp  to see if she is a citizen.
4.  Permanent resident  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/certcopy.asp
