See Canada from your window doesn't give you any rights to work there unless you're authorized

If your wife is a Canadian citizen she can work in Canada. If she is not a Canadian citizen she had to have a Canadian work visa.

Whether she is allowed to work in Canada is a matter between her and the Canadian government. I think she would probably need a Canadian work visa.

If she files for one, she should be careful that working in Canada is not construed as abandonment of her US residence, or she could lose that green card.

Sounds like she could become a US citizen within a year. That would come with (a) permanent freedom to travel and work abroad without risking the loss of US residence rights, and (b) certain NAFTA privileges which could make it easier to get permission from Canada to work there, depending on her field of work.
