Yes ,She Can provided below conditions are met.

Option 1: orphaned close relatives
You can sponsor close relatives only if they meet all conditions. This means they must be:

• orphaned
• under 18
• without a:
  • spouse
  • conjugal partner
  • common-law partner
• related to you by blood or adoption, such as:
  • brothers or sisters
  • nephews or nieces
  • grandchildren

Option 2: other relative
You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the conditions, including:

• you don't have a living relative you could sponsor instead, such as a:
  • spouse
  • common-law partner
  • conjugal partner
  • son or daughter
  • parent
  • grandparent
  • brother or sister
  • uncle or aunt
  • nephew or niece
• you don’t have any of the above-named relatives who is:
  • a Canadian citizen
  • a permanent resident
  • registered Indian under the Indian Act

If the relative you want to sponsor has a spouse, partner, or dependent children who will come with them to Canada you must include them on the same sponsorship application.

Keep in mind it takes 2-3 years to process an application under the program, depending on where you are from. They should also be living in Canada.
