    There is NOTHING in Canadian law to prevent this, we have no problem with dual-citizenship. But she is prevented from doing this under American law which does not allow you to accept citizenship in another country. (You can only be forced, which Canada does not do.) She will lose her American "green card" by accepting permanent resident status for Canada.

    No! Best she can do is get a tourist visa. The US does not allow dual citizenship nor dual residency.
