I gather from your description that your sis is still a canadian citizen.
If she is,she can stay for 6 months
and can extend her stay by another 6 months.

I cannot certainly say if a pending I-130 may hinder her entry but since she has limited
options; there is no harm in taking a trip to the border.

Was your sister a US green card holder?
Returning resident visa (SB-1) visa is applicable only when a US green card holder can prove that his/her long term stay outside US was under circumstatnces beyond control and he/she had no intention of giving up
US permanent residence. If your sister can prove that, she may be eligible
for an SB-1 ; it may be hard for her to prove this if many years have elapsed since she left US. you may have to consult an attorney for this special situation.
