What's not clear to me is how she 'gets' Nexus when she applies for GE in Austin, and how she gets a card so she can enter Canada when she applies for GE in Texas. Getting the iris scan at YVR should the straightforward.

Apologies if this question was already answered in this thread. Wasn't sure what to search for.
Have her apply for NEXUS, not GE. NEXUS costs $50 and includes GE. GE costs $100 and does not include NEXUS. She'd have to interview with both CBSA and CBP, so she needs to go to a Canadian land border crossing or an Canadian airport with USCBP preclearance.
