Did she become a Canadian Permanent Resident either on her own or through ex-husband's sponsorship?
If she has a PR, for how long has she been outside of Canada? If she has been outside for the time limit allowed, then she can come back to Canada as a PR, wait until she becomes eligible for citizenship and then can apply for citizenship.
If she is not a PR, she can apply for PR if she is eligible on her own.

My few cents
1. The youngest child , since one of the parent (father in this case) is canadian citizen, so the kid is canadian citizen by birthright. Only thing is proof of citizenship is missing which is needed to be applied for. please be informed that while applying the original papers by father will be required along with original birth certificate. Rather it will be good if he signs the application.
2. Since the lady was accompanying Canadian citizen husband , who was employed abroad , her time abroad will be counted towards the PR time period in Canada. (assuming she has a PR on pretext that her two kids were born in Canada). In my view if all records are straight she should first apply for PR extension and then citizenship.
She is eligible to enter Canada as of today.

No she has no PR card , her husband was working in usa got married and she landed in USA and not in Canada. She has come to Canada couple of times but never applied for PR card or citizenship.
In this what could be possible ?

You mean her husband will have to apply for citizenship then she will be able to come to Canada. She got divorced she cant do that. My question to you can she apply herself or not ?

So, she is an <assumption> Indian citizen who holds a Green Card in the US. Has 3 children, two of whom are Canadian citizens and one is ??? citizen.
If she wants to live in Canada, she must be eligible to apply for Cdn PR. The only way (that's all I can think of) is to apply as a "skilled worker". That means she needs to qualify under the occupations category listed. She needs to visit www.cic.gc.ca and do some extensive research to figure out if she would qualify for a PR.
She cannot apply for Cdn citizenship. She needs to obtain PR and live in Canada the necessary number of years.
If she has never lived in Canada, why bother now? She has a green card and I am assuming the children also hold green cards. Seems to me like a lot of efforts to get herself and her children into Canada.
