It will be very difficult to convince CIC to grant her a TRV while there is a pending application.

To do so, she must show significant ties to her home country. Otherwise, CIC will believe she is likely to overstay.

If she is refused, you could ask for a TRP (which overcomes inadmissibility) on the grounds that she is eligible for "early admission" (OP 20 Section 5.15). There is an additional charge for a TRP ($200) and it is discretionary - so you have to make a good case for why it should be issued.
