Due to the safe 3rd country act she can’t claim asylum at the border unless she has family in Canada. She will need proof of her relationship to the family member.

That's correct!

However, your can circumvent the 3rd country agreement by crossing through a non official border point (there's many, popular one is Roxham Rd look it up)

Then shell be able to present her case for asylum.

Good luck to you and her

DO NOT DO THIS! Remember the Police will arrest you and this type of entry makes future legal approaches to immigration etc. fraught with problems. Also remember we have a system to prevent illegals. If you do not have a SIN card in Canada you can do almost nothing, no jobs, no apartments, no benefits, no banking, no insurance almost nothing. This is one of the fastest ways to be deported home.
