See ENF4 13.3 and 13.15.

They should carry both old and new passports with them, and show the visa in the old passport when re-entering Canada.

You may also want to note section 2.3 of the guide to transporters, in case they have any problems boarding the flight:

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5023-eng.html

"Persons who have entered Canada as temporary residents, students or temporary workers with single-entry visas may return to Canada after visiting a contiguous territory (the United States or Saint-Pierre and Miquelon) without obtaining a new visa, provided the return is within the period of entry authorized, or where no specific period is indicated, within six months of the original entry stamp."
