Generally speaking, it is expensive to use Chinese cell phone cards to make international calls. I heard the China Mobile has a cheap card for international phone calls, but for detail information, your sister may need to go to the local outlets to consult.

Actually, we all use internet/Wifi to contact out parents in Canada. It is much cheap and convenient.

She can bring her smart phone (unlocked) and get a Chinese SIM and number for 10rmb at many shops all over the place. In China international texts cost 1rmb per text, which adds up fast. but if you can use a chat application then she can use 3G/GPS and text free. as far as call you would want to use skype or facetime depending on your platform.

Suggest you check out WE CHAT free download for your iphone or ipad calls and video chats are free so long as the person you contact has it too.
