If she has eTA or visitor visa, she can travel to Canada any time. If she doesn't, then she need her passport stamp and travel with the COPR after PPR.
COPR/visa valid usually 1 year from Medical (not sure if exam or pass date)

Usually you will get the COPR only after submitting the passport through passport request. You'll get that with a visa if needed. expiry of that visa is usually one year after the medical exam. Single entry.
