I am positive i read some where that if you had a trv from Canada you could go to to Mexico and Cuba but I can not find where I read it ...

"Canadian permanent residents require a PR Card, unless the person's passport in itself is sufficient for exemption. A Canadian PR Card holder, in general may travel visa-free to the following countries: Aruba, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica,the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, South Korea and the Turks & Caicos Islands." cited fm wikipedia.

If she required a visa before then she still requires a visa now. The PR card changes nothing. Whether she needs a visa or not to visit another country is determined by what passport she holds (not the PR card).

So if I'm understanding this correctly, someone with a PR cannot travel into the states until they have a Canadian passport?

No, they can also apply for a US visa to enter the states. Some nationals (such as Japan and Aussie) are also visa exempted to travel into the states.
