It seems she can still order a copy of his complete service file and qualifies (over 65) for the reduced rate on getting it.
Looking at the website it seems as people order copies of a file and pay the fee involved, the file is also "digitized" for future research. The website states this is so "...all Canadians can help contribute to the preservation of our country's military heritage." So the reason it is not digitized yet is that no one else has yet requested it and it won't be till someone does.
How to order:

Also according to the webpage, as I read it, the fees of getting paper copies is the same as accessing digitized records.
