I don't know what the Passport process/paperwork in Canada entails but she may very well have renounced her citizenship while applying for it. Unlikely given the close relationship between the 2 countries but possible.
You need to talk to an attorney.

She didn't have to apply for citizenship; she was born in Canada so is automatically a citizen.
US citizenship can be renounced if a person is naturalized in another country and thereafter becomes a citizen of the other country, and expresses the intention to renounce US citizenship. It doesn't necessarily happen automatically, as the USA recognizes dual citizenship.
